43198 CAN 7A 60557-3705 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to abrasive products having a resinous binder which bonds abrasive granules to a backing sheet or to a fibrous sheet. In the manufacture of coated abrasives, a make coat and abrasive granules are first applied to a backing, the make coat is partially cured, then a size coat is applied, and the resulting construction is fully cured. Generally, the binders for the make coat and size coat are thermally curable resins. In order to obtain proper coating viscosities with thermally curable resins, solvent is added to these resins. With polyester or cellulose backings, however, curing temperatures are limited to about 130°C. At this temperature, cure times are long. The long cure time along with the requirement of solvent removal necessitate the use of festoon curing areas. Festoon curing areas require large amounts of space and enormous amounts of energy. The present invention provides an abrasive product comprising abrasive grains bonded to at least one major surface of a backing sheet by a binder formed from a blend comprising radiation curable monomer and a thermally curable resinous material. The radiation curable monomer can be selected from the group consisting of isocyanurate derivatives having at least one terminal or pendant acrylate group, isocyanate derivatives having at least one terminal or pendant acrylate group, and multifunctional acrylate monomers. The thermally curable resinous material is preferably a member selected from the group consisting of phenolic resins, urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine- formaldehyde resins, and epoxy resins. The binder can be used to form the make coat, size coat, both make and size coats, or as a backing treatment for a coated abrasive product. The abrasive products of this invention can be prepared without the use of festoon curing areas.
