The roll offers quick access to a disc and eliminates disc liners. The disc features a strong, C-weight paper backing that resists wear during aggressive sanding.

From the Manufacturer

The 3M™ Stikit™ Paper Disc Roll 236U discs offer aggressive cut and long life on a premium aluminum oxide disc with a durable edge and convenient Stikit adhesive backing. A go-to product in many industrial operations, these durable discs are well suited for high production sanding operations as well as general purpose applications on paint, primer, wood, metal, plastic, and composites, including fiberglass. Designed for use with a random orbital sander, the strong C-weight paper backing resists tearing and edgewear during aggressive sanding, and the discs are resin-bonded for heat-resistance, further increasing life and cut. These discs also feature an open coat and a load-resistant coating to enhance dust management and cut-rate.

A load-resistant coating allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the surface of the disc and hinder sanding ability. Loading is further reduced by an open coat, which means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust can escape rather than obstructing the cutting edge of the grains, thereby optimizing cut-rate and disc life.

Sanding discs come in a variety of forms to fit various power tools and disc pads. 3M™ Stikit™ Discs are designed to handle a wide range of sanding and finishing needs. These high-quality, coated abrasive products come ready to use with a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) coating on the back so they conveniently press onto the backup pad, and remove cleanly, leaving an uncontaminated surface for the next disc. A disc roll makes the discs easy to grab while eliminating the use of disc liners. A Stikit dust-free disc should be used in conjunction with a Stikit dust-free disc pad (also called a backup pad and sold separately) that is attached to a random orbital sander.

Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes 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 their fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, aluminum oxide discs are widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
