The main types of backings used are cloth and paper; alternatives are vulcanized fiber, non-woven webs, stitch-bonded cloths and foils. The most important mineral types used are aluminum oxide and silicon carbide. In recent years, zirconia alumina and micro-crystalline sintered aluminum oxide made through sol-gel technology have also become more important. The latter is produced by Hermes today on the basis of the company's own patents, under the designation Sapphire Blue® and further development work is proceeding on this product.
