Emery Paper

Emery Paper – Premium Abrasives from Leading Emery Paper Manufacturer in India

Emery paper is one of the oldest and most reliable abrasive products used for surface preparation and finishing. Known for its durability and effectiveness, emery paper remains a popular choice in woodworking, metal polishing, automotive body repair, and general household sanding tasks. At Maruti Industries, we are a trusted emery paper manufacturer in India, delivering high-quality abrasive solutions that are consistent, affordable, and long-lasting.

What is Emery Paper?

Emery paper is a type of coated abrasive where natural or synthetic abrasive grains are bonded to a strong backing material. Traditionally made using crushed emery minerals, modern emery paper often combines aluminum oxide and silicon carbide for better performance. It comes in the form of sheets and rolls, offering flexibility for different applications. Being a reputed emery paper supplier in India, we manufacture emery paper with uniform grit distribution, ensuring a smooth and even finish every time.

Applications of Emery Paper

Emery paper is highly versatile and finds applications across various industries. In woodworking, it is used to smooth surfaces before applying polish or paint. Metal industries rely on emery paper for rust removal, burr cleaning, and polishing steel or brass components. In the automotive sector, emery paper plays a crucial role in bodywork repairs and paint preparation. Even in DIY projects and household use, emery paper sheets are perfect for cleaning and finishing small objects. These wide applications make it one of the most demanded products from an abrasives manufacturer in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, emery paper is designed for dry use. For wet polishing, consider silicon carbide abrasive paper.

Yes, it’s commonly used for polishing contacts and terminals, though dry-only use is recommended.

Yes. We can slit to order based on your requirements.

Emery paper consists of natural emery mineral (a blend of corundum and magnetite) or synthetic aluminium oxide abrasive grains bonded to a paper or cloth backing using a resin or glue bond. The abrasive grains are applied in open-coat or closed-coat patterns depending on the intended application. Maruti Industries emery paper uses high-grade abrasive materials to ensure consistent cutting performance, durability, and reliable surface finish quality across industrial and workshop environments.

We offer emery paper in grit sizes from 36 (coarse) to 600 (fine), covering every stage of surface finishing from aggressive material removal to ultra-fine polishing. Our most popular grit sizes are 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220, and 320. Multi-grit assortment packs are available for workshops needing flexibility across jobs. Custom grit profiles and bulk packs can be arranged for industrial buyers and hardware distributors.

Emery paper is one of the most versatile abrasive products used in Indian manufacturing. It is widely used for metal surface preparation before painting or coating, rust removal, deburring of machined parts, polishing brass and copper fittings, wood finishing, and paint feathering in auto body repair. Maruti Industries emery paper is supplied to furniture manufacturers, fabrication units, automotive workshops, hardware retailers, and construction companies across Gujarat and India.

The key difference is the abrasive mineral used. Emery paper uses natural emery or aluminium oxide, which is harder and more durable — making it better suited for metal surfaces. Traditional sandpaper used sand (silicon dioxide), though modern sandpaper uses silicon carbide or aluminium oxide. Emery paper is the preferred choice for metalworkers due to its tough cutting action and consistent scratch pattern, while sandpaper is more commonly used for wood finishing and paint surface preparation.

Yes, emery paper can be used on wood surfaces, particularly for fine finishing stages. For most woodworking applications flint paper or silicon carbide sandpaper is more economical. Emery paper is most effective on wood when a very smooth finish is required before staining or applying varnish. Medium to fine grits (120–240) work best for wood sanding with emery paper. Coarser grits can leave deeper scratch marks on soft wood grain, so use light pressure and sand along the grain direction.

Start with coarse grit (60–80) to remove heavy rust, mill scale, or old coatings from metal surfaces. Progress to medium grit (100–150) to smooth the surface and eliminate coarse scratch marks from the previous grit. Use fine grit (180–240) for pre-paint surface preparation to ensure good primer adhesion. For polishing or mirror finishing on metals like stainless steel or brass, use grits 320–600 with light, consistent pressure. Always work progressively through finer grits for the best result.

Emery paper can be reused several times depending on the material being sanded and the pressure applied. To extend its working life, use light even pressure and avoid overloading the abrasive surface. Store emery paper flat or loosely rolled in a dry, cool location away from moisture, humidity, and direct sunlight. High humidity causes the paper backing to soften and wrinkle, weakening the abrasive grain bond. Proper storage extends shelf life and maintains consistent cutting performance.
