Scouring pads are made from an open-web nonwoven fiber structure, often impregnated/coated with abrasives (commonly aluminum oxide or silicon carbide).
The open structure provides:
They typically offer good water/chemical tolerance depending on formulation.
Scouring pads are positioned as cleaning-oriented surface conditioning abrasives, designed for low gouging risk, low heat impact, and controllable texture—used for cleaning, light oxide removal, brushing/unifying scratch patterns, light pre-coating abrasion, and maintenance.
They focus on surface conditioning rather than heavy stock removal, making them suitable for cosmetic parts, thin sheet, and complex profiles. They are widely used on stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and coated surfaces.

Scouring pads work through fiber-based micro-abrasion and brushing, not heavy cutting:
They are commonly used as a transition step: cleaning/oxide removal → texture unification → polishing or coating.

OEM/ODM supported:
Nonwoven density/thickness, abrasive system and grades, color coding system, sheet/roll sizing, holder-compatible formats, private label/packaging and kit programs—engineered for target cleaning strength, texture, and durability.

Although simple in appearance, performance depends on grade consistency:
Nonwoven density, abrasive distribution, and bonding stability determine cleaning strength, texture coarseness, and durability. We control materials and process for batch stability, delivering repeatable cleaning and brushing results.
