A substance or tool used for abrading, polishing, or wearing away surfaces through friction.
From 'abrade' + Latin '-ant' (agent suffix). Refers to the thing doing the abrading, similar to how 'coolant' is what cools.
Sandpaper, grinding stones, and polishing compounds are all abradants—they're the unsung heroes that shape everything from furniture to smartphone screens.
