2 Non-Woven Abrasives New Vortex Premium Tier Rapid Prep Offering New Vortex Premium Tier Rapid Prep Offering Norton Bear-Tex Product Offering Overview CONFIDENTIAL

3 Non-Woven Abrasives New Product Family Extension – Best Tier Norton Vortex Rapid Prep is the premium tier of the surface conditioning (SCM) product family. Made from synthetic, high-strength fibers and patented Vortex aluminum oxide grain, this line is the most consistent cutting and finishing surface conditioning material (SCM) the market has to offer. Available in belts, quick-change, hook & loop, and arbor hole discs, rolls, and specialties. CONFIDENTIAL

4 Non-Woven Abrasives Bear-Tex FeaturesBenefits New Clean Bond resin technology Smear-free, even on high nickel content alloys Will not load on aluminum and soft metals as competitive products can Proprietary new coating method Robust layer of grain throughout the product that extends life; grain does not sit on top of fibers as competitive products can Consistent and uniform surface finish Extended form holding and edge fray resistance Lowest total cost of consumable tooling per work piece Less part changeover due to superior product life Improved hook and loop backing on discs Improved attachment on sanders for safer use Discs sit flatter on back-up pads, resulting in a more consistent finish on DA applications CONFIDENTIAL
