Scotch-Brite? General Purpose Hand Pad is used for scuffing
before applying paint and primer-surfacer. Also used for used car
reconditioning and cleaning upholstery, headlines and door pads,
chrome and white wall tires. Rinses clean and does not rust. Can be
used repeatedly. 6" x 9". Pack of 20.
The performance of Scotch-Brite? General Purpose Hand Pad 7447
is comparable to steel wool grade 1. However, unlike steel wool,
our Scotch-Brite? pads won't shred during use, rust after use, or
create fine metal splinters. The non-woven, open-web material
resists loading and can be used dry, with water or solvents,
and rinsed clean for reuse. This multipurpose 6" x 9" pad can
be used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad block for
uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to cover large
areas.
This maroon hand pad uses 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? industrial abrasive products are a unique
surface conditioning product with abrasives incorporated into
non-woven nylon or other synthetic fibers. Combining abrasives into
the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent
results for the life of the product. The open-web material is load
resistant and keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high
performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.
