Abstract
A flexible abrasive article is provided with a first, non-tacky base layer having opposed first and second major surfaces. An ink layer is disposed on the first major surface of the first base layer, while a second, thermoplastic base layer is disposed on the ink layer whereby the ink layer is located between the first and second base layers. Disposed on the second base layer is an abrasive layer such that the second base layer is located between the abrasive layer and the ink layer. Compared with conventional printed flexible adhesive articles, the provided articles improved robustness while avoiding manufacturing difficulties related to flexographic printing onto abrasive coated articles.
