The soft abrasive mineral effectively cleans, blends, and conditions metals, wood, composites, and advanced surfaces and is also effective for paint prep. Applications where our Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Finish multi-use sheets are useful include cabinetry, custom woodworking and millwork, furniture, metal fabrication, primary wood and panel processing. Washable and reusable, this non-woven, open-web sheet resists loading to continuously provide consistent conditioning properties throughout the life of the product. Convenient 6 x 9 inch sheet may be used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander for large area coverage. Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Finish Sheets are available with silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, or talc abrasive mineral. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep and finishing. Aluminum oxide is a hard, blocky mineral that provides high cut-rate and long life. While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a finer finish. Talc is a mild abrasive that can be used achieve a satin finish or with polish to create a high gloss finish in topcoat rubbing applications. 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.
