Abstract
A method for making an abrasive article is described including the steps of providing an organic substrate; contacting the organic substrate with dry particulate solid material comprising a binder material, the binder material comprising a plurality of fusible organic particles, and a plurality of abrasive particles; inducing the fusible organic particles to liquefy; and solidifying the organic particles to thereby bond the particles to the organic substrate to provide an abrasive article. The invention provides a facile method for bonding abrasive particles to an organic substrate while reducing emissions at processing.
