The flexible nature of our Scotch-Brite™ High Strength Roll material folds, stacks, or rolls to accommodate various contours, hard-to-reach areas, and other cleaning or finishing tasks. The roll stock can be custom cut to any length and used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad holder for uniform finishing, or on an inline sander to cover larger areas and fulfill a variety of applications. This maroon abrasive sheet uses very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive. Aluminum oxide 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™ 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.
