Patent Summary

An abrasive material comprises a first side and an opposite side, featuring hairs or fibers on the first side. These hairs are manufactured from a double-layer fabric by weaving or stitching a wire in a W-connection through the top and bottom layers, then cutting the connection between said layers to create the hairs. The hairs are post-treated via heat or chemical processes to permanently alter their shape and enhance resilience. Additionally, the hairs are equipped with abrasive particles. The material is utilized in three-dimensional tool accessories, such as cleaning, sanding, or polishing pads and roller brushes, designed for deep cleaning and polishing of stone, steel, wood, or plastic surfaces while resisting clogging.
