Abstract
Abstract A method of making an abrasive tape comprises the steps of preparing an abrasive composition at least from abrasive grains and a binder, applying the abrasive composition onto a flexible substrate, and drying the applied abrasive composition. The step of preparing the abrasive composition comprises kneading processing and attritor dispersion processing which are carried out for at least a part of the abrasive grains and at least a part of the binder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A method of making an abrasive tape comprising: (1) preparing an abrasive composition at least from abrasive grains and a binder, (2) applying the abrasive composition onto a flexible substrate, and (3) drying the applied abrasive composition, wherein the step of preparing said abrasive composition comprises kneading processing, which is carried out while the abrasive composition being kneaded has a viscosity of at least 100 poise, and attritor dispersion processing, said kneading processing and attritor dispersion processing being carried out on at least 10% of an overall amount of said abrasive grains and at least a part of said binder and providing that said steps of kneading processing and attritor dispersion processing can be carried out in either order.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
119 words
A method of making an abrasive tape comprising: (1) preparing an abrasive composition at least from abrasive grains and a binder, (2) applying the abrasive composition onto a flexible substrate, and (3) drying the applied abrasive composition, wherein the step of preparing said abrasive composition comprises kneading processing, which is carried out while the abrasive composition being kneaded has a viscosity of at least 100 poise, and attritor dispersion processing, said kneading processing and attritor dispersion processing being carried out on at least 10% of an overall amount of said abrasive grains and at least a part of said binder and providing that said steps of kneading processing and attritor dispersion processing can be carried out in either order.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said binder is selected from the group consisting of nitrocellulose and a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer having a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said kneading processing is carried out prior to said attritor dispersion processing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said attritor dispersion processing is carried out for a period within the range of two to 48 hours.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined in claim 4 wherein said attritor dispersion processing is carried out for a period within the range of six to 24 hours.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the ratio of the apparent volume of dispersion media in an attritor tank to the total volume of the attritor tank, is adjusted to a value within the range of 100:100 to 100:800 in the course of said attritor dispersion processing.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method as defined in claim 6 wherein the ratio of the apparent volume of dispersion media in an attritor tank to the total volume of the attritor tank, is adjusted to a value within the range of 100:100 to 100:500 in the course of said attritor dispersion processing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the viscosity of said abrasive composition is adjusted to a value within the range of 10 to 300 poise in the course of said attritor dispersion processing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method as defined in claim 8 wherein the viscosity of said abrasive composition is adjusted to a value within the range of 20 to 200 poise in the course of said attritor dispersion processing.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method as defined in claim 9 wherein the viscosity of said abrasive composition is adjusted to a value within the range of 30 to 150 poise in the course of said attritor dispersion processing.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said kneading processing and said attritor dispersion processing are carried out only for not less than 10% of the overall amount of said binder.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said kneading processing and said attritor dispersion processing are carried out only for not less than 20% of the overall amount of said abrasive grains.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as defined in claim 11 wherein said kneading processing and said attritor dispersion processing are carried out only for not less than 20% of the overall amount of said binder.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as defined in claim 13 wherein said kneading processing and said attritor dispersion processing are carried out only for not less than 30% of the overall amount of said binder.
