Abstract
A system and method for attaching an abrasive article to a backing pad is provided. The system includes a backing pad including loop-textile material applied to an attachment surface thereof and an abrasive article, which is removably attached thereto. The abrasive article has at least first and second surfaces including a plurality of abrasive particles adhered thereto. The first surface of the abrasive article includes abrasive particles having a size and density selected to provide a desired surface finish of a workpiece surface being abraded with the abrasive article. The second surface includes a plurality of abrasive particles having a size and density selected to releasably engage textile loops extending from the loop textile material applied to the backing pad attachment surface. Various embodiments, including double-sided sandpaper sheets and sanding screens, which adhere to the textile loops extending from the loop textile material applied to the backing pad attachment surface are disclosed.
