Our Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad combines load resistance and uniform wear to provide a consistent cut-rate throughout the life of the pad. The 6 x 9” Blending Hand Pad can be used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad holder for uniform finishing, or on an inline sander to cover larger areas. This gray pad is filled with silicon carbide abrasive mineral, a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep. While it breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish. Our Scotch-Brite™ abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven fiber matrix. Combining abrasives and non-woven material 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.
