3M Scotch-Brite 7447 Pro Hand Pad, Very Fine Grade, Pack of 60, Aluminum Oxide

The Scotch-Brite Hand Pad PRO is a high-performance hand sanding pad that features a very fine grade aluminum oxide mineral, known for its fast cutting and fine finishing capabilities. This abrasive material leaves a smooth, finished surface on a wide range of substrates, including metal, wood, plastics, ceramics, porcelain, glass, rubber, and composites.

The unique feature of this pad is the precision-coated, nonwoven, open-web material that resists loading and can be used dry, with water, or with solvents. This allows the pad to be rinsed clean and reused, unlike steel wool, which can shred, rust, and create fine metal splinters during use.

This multipurpose 6" x 9" sanding pad can be utilized in various ways. It can be used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to cover large areas. The pad is also perforated in the center, allowing for easy tearing by hand, reducing waste and enabling the user to select the right size for the job.

The aluminum oxide abrasive mineral is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its high cut-rate, long life, and self-fracturing properties. This tough and durable abrasive exposes fresh cutting edges during use, unlike traditional abrasives like garnet, which quickly wear down. The high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention of aluminum oxide make it suitable for a wide range of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking applications.

The Scotch-Brite PRO advantage lies in its unique surface conditioning product, where the abrasives are incorporated into the non-woven nylon fibers. This breakthrough fiber coating technology allows the Scotch-Brite PRO abrasive products to cut faster and produce a more consistent scratch than competitive non-woven abrasive products, reducing the time and effort required to finish parts. The open-web material is load-resistant, keeping the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting the clogging of the nylon fibers.

In summary, the Scotch-Brite Hand Pad PRO is a high-performance, multipurpose sanding pad that delivers consistent results, lasts long, and is suitable for a wide range of substrates. Its unique design and abrasive characteristics make it a popular choice among industrial professionals for various surface preparation and finishing tasks.
