Scotch-Brite Light Duty Hand Pad 6448, 6 in x 9 in, 20/Carton, 3 Cartons/Case
This conformable product performs well on flat and contoured surfaces without significantly altering the base material. Our durable Scotch-Brite Extra Duty Hand Pad is also effective for denibbing or defuzzing. This multi-use 6 x 9 inch hand pad can be used by hand for precise control, with a hand block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to condition large areas.
This brown pad uses fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Our Scotch-Brite industrial abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven nylon or synthetic fibers. Combining abrasives with the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. The open-web material runs cool and is load resistant, which keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.
