Hookit™ Abrasive Disc, Aluminum Oxide, Hook and Loop, Paper, 5 in Dia, 12000 rpm, Gold, P500 Grit

3M™ Hookit™ paper disc 236U offers aggressive cut and long life on a premium aluminum oxide disc with a durable edge and convenient Hookit™ attachment. A go to product in many industrial operations, this durable disc is well-suited for high production sanding operations as well as general purpose applications on paint, primer, wood, metal, plastic and composites, including fiberglass. Designed for use with a random orbital sander, the strong C-weight paper backing on our 3M™ Hookit™ paper disc 236U resists tearing and edge wear during aggressive sanding and the disc is resin bonded for heat resistance, further increasing life and cut. These discs also feature an open coat and a load-resistant coating to enhance dust management and cut rate. A load-resistant coating allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the surface of the disc and hinder sanding ability. Loading is further reduced by an open coat, which means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust can escape rather than obstructing the cutting edge of the grains, thereby optimizing cut rate and disc life. Sanding discs come in a variety of forms to fit various power tools and disc pads. We designed the 3M™ Hookit™ paper disc 236U to conveniently and firmly attach to a hook and loop back-up disc pad on a random orbital sander, to be removed cleanly and easily and be simple to reuse. A load-resistant coating prevents wood dust, paint particles and other debris from prematurely clogging the surface of the disc, optimizing cut rate and disc life.
