The 3M Hookit Blue Abrasive Disc (MPN 36162) is a 5-inch, 220-grit hook-and-loop sanding disc engineered for professional automotive paint preparation and body repair. Sold in a convenient 50-disc carton, these discs deliver consistent, reliable performance across the full range of paint prep and coatings removal tasks — from aggressive paint stripping and fresh filler sanding to blend preparation and primer sanding.
Engineered Ceramic Mineral Blend
At the core of the 3M Blue Abrasive line is a proprietary blend of ceramic grain and premium aluminum oxide mineral, carefully balanced to deliver superior cut rates and extended disc life compared to conventional abrasives. Upgraded resin bonding further enhances durability and finish quality throughout the life of each disc.
Multi-Hole Dust Extraction Pattern
The specially designed multi-hole pattern captures dust and pulls it away from the abrasive surface during sanding, reducing loading more effectively than standard 6- or 7-hole disc configurations. This keeps the cutting surface cleaner for longer, resulting in a faster cut and more consistent performance. Built-in alignment guides make it quick and easy to align the disc with nearly any compatible backup pad.
Hookit Hook-and-Loop Attachment System
The Hookit system uses a brushed nylon loop backing that attaches securely to Hookit disc pads (sold separately), allowing fast, clean disc changes without the mess or contamination risk of adhesive-backed PSA discs. Discs can be attached, removed, and reattached repeatedly for maximum product life.
