INFILTRATED HIGH-DENSITY
DIAMOND BLADES
A new patented technology with longer blade life, faster cutting
power, increased safety, and lower energy required for a
high-quality result.
THE ULTIMATE MULTI-PURPOSE DIAMOND BLADE
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Longer Life:
• Enhanced specification for improved life, especially for floor sawing with 12mm high segments and
high-density and improved retention of diamond grits in segment for up to +20% longer product life and
better ‘value for money’ ratio
Faster Cut:
• The trapezoid shape segments provide a narrow, constant space between the segments while the serrations
on the segment face contribute to the cutting speed creating one of the fastest cutting Norton blades
available. The new segment specification brings it up to 40% faster cutting speed in all materials.
Increased Safety:
• Very high uniform density across the whole segment which provides up to +60% stronger laser-welding
torque resistance vs. traditional process with a 100% warranty against segment loss
Greater Comfort:
• The trapezoid shape segments provides a constant & narrow space between the segment during the whole
product life for better comfort, less vibrations and efforts while cutting, better quality of cut
Wider Choice:
• Segment specification works perfectly for all kinds of building materials and all type of light equipment
types when cutting all-purpose materials like granite, natural stones, reinforced concrete, blocks, bricks,
green concrete and asphalt, as well as steel parts up to 5mm thickness

MASTERING THE SCIENCE OF SILENCE
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Longer Life:
• A .590” segment height to maximize cutting performance longevity on masonry applications which is
amongst the best cutting in the Norton range, specifically designed for your machine type for
best cutting performance
Faster Cut:
• With a newly developed specification enhancing cutting performance in a wide array of masonry materials,
Norton Silenco is among the fastest cutting Norton diamond blades
Greater Comfort:
• Patent pending offset gullets which prevent air from flowing through the steel-center gullets and a sandwich
steel-center with newly developed absorbing material ensures that the blade does not generate the normal
whistle noise while running idle, for a better operating comfort level. This unprecedented noise-dampening
effect reaches reductions of up to 15dB – 30 times less noise.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
The Norton Infiltrated High Density Technology (iHD)
combined with its laser welded patented process is the
biggest breakthrough in Diamond Tools this century.
Through many years of research and development this
revolutionary process provides our customers with
unrivalled performance, increased safety, lower energy
manufacturing and a wider-choice of segment design.

RESULT
Infiltrate the segment

A composite material with enhanced
properties for limitless segment design.
UNIQUE PATENTED LASER WELDING
WITH INFILTRATED SEGMENTS
Infiltration achieves high uniform density
across each whole segment without applying
high pressure (like the standard process).
This allows Norton to manufacture very robust
segments which wear evenly, remain intact and
perform faster at higher cutting speeds.
The diamond grit is an integral part of the
segment structure. During the patented process
a special bond impregnates the core structure
and binds the diamond grit into the segment.
This ensures optimum use of the diamond grit,
giving the diamond tools a longer life.
The simplified process also means increased
segment design flexibility resulting in greater
diversification of diamond blade shapes to best suit
applications and materials being cut.

THE BIGGEST BREAKTHROUGH IN DIAMOND TOOL TECHNOLOGY
Longer Life:
Smaller Carbon Footprint:
• An increased retention of diamond for greater performance with a much longer
product life, by at least 20%, for the best possible return on investment.
• The streamlined manufacturing process requires lower energy consumption
making the production more environmentally friendly.
Faster Cut:
Wider Choice:
• A new and innovative structure delivers a very well-balanced and steady bond wear
for the entire product life with a faster tool cutting speed, by an average 30%.
• The iHD technology enables mass production of any segment shape, with no
design restriction, allowing for new and unique diamond blades with greater
differentiation between high performance diamond tools. This affords a greater
selection of products for specific applications and a clearer identification of
Norton products.
Increased Safety:
• A very high, very uniform density across the whole segment makes it almost
unbreakable. This allows for a much higher bending tolerance, resulting in 60%
higher torque resistance of the laser-welded segments. An advanced safety
breakthrough from the inventor of the laser-welded diamond blade.
• All types of tool specification can be designed with iHD – from very abrasive to very
hard materials. This ensures versatility by applications and of materials to be cut.
Greater Comfort:
Advanced Innovation:
• The streamlined iHD manufacturing process enables many different segment
shapes to be produced. This provides improved operator comfort with increased
opportunity for smoother cutting with reduced vibration.
• More than six patent applications, generated by Saint-Gobain Abrasives, have
produced innovation awards that further support the unprecedented value of this
new process for all users.
