Product Specification

BELT BUTTER ABRASIVE LIFE EXTENDER GREASE

Benchmark Abrasives belt butter abrasive life extender grease is designed to help compatible coated abrasives keep cutting by reducing friction, heat, loading, and gumming during sanding. A light application helps prevent material from packing into the abrasive surface before the grain itself is worn out.

Primarily used with sanding belts, Belt Butter can also be applied to compatible cloth-backed PSA sanding discs. Made in USA, it is a simple shop accessory for metalworking, fabrication, woodworking, and other sanding applications where heat and material buildup can reduce cutting efficiency.

How to Use Belt Butter

For sanding belts, lightly touch the belt butter to the moving abrasive surface to leave a thin coating across the working area.

For compatible PSA discs, apply only a small amount to the abrasive face.

A light application is typically all that is needed. Reapply only when cutting performance begins to fall off or friction increases rather than heavily coating the abrasive.

Always follow the machine manufacturer's operating and safety instructions.

Belt Butter vs. Abrasive Cleaning Stick

Belt Butter and an abrasive cleaning stick address two different types of abrasive loading.

Belt Butter is used during sanding to help reduce heat, friction, loading, and gumming before buildup becomes severe.

Abrasive Cleaning Stick is used to remove material that has already accumulated on the abrasive surface.

For applications that load abrasives quickly, the two can complement each other.

Tips for Better Results

  • Apply a light coating rather than saturating the abrasive.
  • Reapply only as needed.
  • Keep Belt Butter away from surfaces that must remain free of lubricant.
  • Remove lubricant residue from the workpiece before painting, coating, welding, bonding, or other operations requiring a clean surface.
  • Keep machine guards in place during use.
  • Wear the PPE required for the sanding operation.
  • Belt Butter does not change an abrasive's fit, speed rating, or machine compatibility.
