An abrasives is a hard, tough and wear resistant substance for grinding and polishing operations. Manufactured through a complex and high technology process, these abrasives are used in metal removal, cutting and finishing operations in almost all industries.

These are manufactured by depositing grains over a backing material like cloth, paper or fibre. Depending on the requirement of the customer, the backing material and type of grains will vary. There are various types of grains like sintered aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, zircon, emery and flint.

These are divided into vitrified, resinoid and rubber products and manufactured by mixing grains with bonding material, moulding them to shape and then subjecting the output to firing or baking in high temperature and finishing the same to desired dimensions.

Apart from abrasives, CUMI also manufactures metal working fluids for grinding applications. In the metal working process, the right combination of machine, cutting tool and metalworking fluid is required to produce an acceptable part.

CUMI recently launched a range of power tools used in metal working, construction, wood working and interior decoration. Abrasives are used as accessories in power tools. The Company's strong brand image and well established marketing network provide good synergies for this product line with abrasives.

Electro minerals are used as basic raw material in the manufacture of abrasives and refractories. They are also used for surface preparation and in tile and paint industries. They are also increasingly being used for silicon wafer slicing in solar cell manufacture, dental care and skin therapy. Silicon carbide is also used as an input in metallurgical industries.

Industrial ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds Industrial ceramics products made mostly of high alumina. They have high melting points, low wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties.

CUMI offers a range of corrosion protection products mainly for industrial applications viz. acid resistant cements, custom made equipment manufactured of fibre reinforced plastics, precast polymeric products, construction chemicals and anticorrosive coatings and industrial floorings.

CUMI also offers a ceramics wound dressing products. These consist of micro-porous ceramics granules in a permeable container. These products helps to siphon off excess wound exudates. They have application in health care industry for post surgical medical care and treatment of various wounds and ulcers.

Silicon Carbide is a man made mineral of extreme hardness and sharpness. It is the ideal abrasive for grinding sanding materials of low tensile strength such as Cast Iron, Brass, Aluminum, Bronze etc.

Refractory is a material that will retain its shape and chemical identity when subjected to high temperatures and is used in applications that require extreme resistance to heat, such as furnace linings. Refractory products are basically used in industries for heat resistant and containment.
