Overview
Radiac Abrasives makes conventional bonded and superabrasive cutting wheels for aerospace, automotive, wood, aviation, turbine, and bearing industries, mainly serving North America. Its wheels combine abrasive grains with a bonding matrix to cut and grind material; they come in various grain types and bond formulations to tailor performance, exposing cutting edges as the wheel wears. The company differentiates itself by offering direct sales paired with engineering support to deliver customized grinding solutions that aim to reduce scrap and overall costs, backed by ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. Its goal is to provide cost-effective, timely grinding solutions with high quality and reliable customer service in the North American market.
