This adhesive-backed/PSA sanding disc is a heavy-duty abrasive solution designed for high material-removal tasks in industrial settings. It combines precision-shaped mineral technology with a cloth backing to deliver sustained cutting performance and reduced clogging when used with orbital sanders and dust-extraction systems. The product is suited to operations where throughput, disc life and dust management are key considerations.

• Precision-shaped grain provides continuous fracturing and consistent cut
• Cotton cloth backing delivers durability with flexible conformity
• Anti-static treatment reduces electrically charged swarf adhesion
• Open coat construction minimises loading and preserves cutting rate
• Effective dust-extraction compatibility lowers downtime for cleaning

• Suitable for heavy stock removal from metal components
• Ideal for surface preparation on hardwood and softwood
• Used for blending and finishing aluminium panels
• Suitable for sanding composites and gelcoat surfaces
• used with orbital sanders fitted with vacuum back-up pads

It uses a cotton cloth backing combined with a PSA adhesive for secure hook-and-loop style attachment to compatible back-up pads.

The open coat layout spaces abrasive mineral to reduce loading, so cutting continues on resinous woods and composite surfaces.

Yes, an anti-static treatment helps neutralise charge and, when paired with a 3M Xtract multi-hole back-up pad and vacuum, enhances extraction efficiency.

The precision-shaped mineral is applicable to metals, aluminium, hardwoods, softwoods and various composites for stock removal and finishing.

Continuous fracturing of the grain sustains sharpness, extending disc life and reducing the frequency of disc changes in bulk operations.
