How to Store Abrasive Discs to Make Them Last Longer 

Abrasive discs are not just consumables — they are an essential part of your work that determines the quality of cutting or grinding. To ensure your Ataman discs perform at their best and last longer, it’s important to store them correctly. 

We’ve prepared a few simple but effective tips. 

1. Protect from Moisture 

Abrasive materials are sensitive to water and high humidity. 

• Store discs in dry rooms where humidity does not exceed 60%. 
• Do not place them directly on concrete floors, as these can draw moisture. It’s better to use shelves or stands. 

️2. Avoid Temperature Fluctuations 

Temperature swings can lead to microcracks. 

• Store discs at temperatures between +10°C and +30°C. 
• Do not leave them in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in cold, unheated spaces. 

️3. Protect from Mechanical Damage 

Cracks and impacts are a disc’s worst enemies. 

• Keep discs in their original packaging until use. 
• If the package is opened, place discs on a flat surface, do not drop or press heavy items on them. 
• For large discs, use vertical storage on special racks. 

4. Mind the Expiration Date 

Yes, discs have an expiration date! Usually, it’s 3–5 years. 

• Check the markings and avoid using expired discs, as they may lose strength. 

5. Organize Proper Inventory 

• Sort discs by type, diameter, and grit. 
• Use shelves or labels to avoid confusion. 
• Keep a simple log or tracking system to know which batches arrived first.
