SAITLAM Z is the zirconia flap disc from SAIT Abrasivi for stainless steel and hard steels, made in Italy and supplied in Lebanon by Rousse. Zirconia grain is self-sharpening, removes material fast with less heat and lasts longer than aluminium oxide.
A flap disc carries overlapping abrasive-cloth flaps on a semi-flexible backing, so it grinds and finishes in one step: it removes material like a grinding wheel but leaves a smoother finish, runs cooler and quieter, and keeps cutting as fresh grain is exposed.
Applications
- Grinding and blending welds on stainless steel (inox)
- Fast removal on carbon and alloy steels
- Deburring and edge preparation on hard metals
- Finishing stainless rails, tanks and kitchen equipment

FAQ
Flap disc or grinding wheel?
A grinding wheel removes material fast but leaves a rough surface. A flap disc removes material and finishes at the same time, with less heat, vibration and noise, so you often save a finishing step.
Why zirconia for stainless steel?
Zirconia is tougher and self-sharpening, so it cuts cooler and faster on stainless and hard steels and helps avoid heat discolouration.
What do people call it in Lebanon?
Usually disc mdala3 or wara2 mdala3 (ديسك مضلع); also flap disc.
أسئلة شائعة
ديسك مضلع أو حجر جلخ؟
حجر الجلخ بيشيل بسرعة بس بيترك السطح خشن. الديسك المضلع بيشيل وبينعّم بنفس الوقت، بحرارة وهزّة وصوت أقل، فبتوفّر مرحلة تنعيم.
ليش الزركونيوم للستانلس؟
الزركونيوم أقسى وبيسنّ حاله، فبيقطع أبرد وأسرع عالستانلس والحديد القاسي وبيخفّف حرق اللون.
