Abstract
Provided are abrasive articles in which the make layer, abrasive particle layer, and size layer are coated onto a backing according to a coating pattern characterized by a pattern of discrete islands, or features, having an areal density ranging from about 30 features to about 300 features per square centimeter and an average feature diameter ranging from about 0.1 millimeters to about 1.5 millimeters. Optionally, the provided abrasive particles have an average abrasive particle size ranging from about 20 micrometers to about 250 micrometers and the average make layer thickness ranging from 33 percent to 100 percent of the average abrasive particle size. This coating pattern provides that all three components are generally in registration with each other, while also providing a pervasive uncoated area extending across the backing, thereby providing improved cut and finish performance while displaying a resistance to curl in wet environments.
