Emery paper

Emery paper is a type of abrasive paper or sandpaper, that can be used to abrade (remove material from) surfaces or mechanically finish a surface. Operations include deburring, polishing, paint removal, corrosion removal, sizing, etc. This is accomplished by moving the abrasive-coated paper, with some pressure, against the object being processed. Abrasion may be performed by hand, electrically powered, or air powered equipment.

Emery is a naturally occurring rock of impure crystalline aluminum oxide ( Al 2 O 3 {displaystyle {ce {Al2O3}}} mixed with oxides of silicon, iron, and other elements and varying small percentages of clay and other silicates for example: kaolinite (Al4Si4O10(OH)8)). Smaller particles abrade smaller amounts of material and are used to produce a finer finish.
