The silicon carbide abrasive mineral features exceptionally sharp points that fracture during use to continuously expose fresh cutting edges, delivering extra-fast material removal with a superior finish quality. The proprietary waterproof paper backing is lighter weight than cloth alternatives and provides a smooth, flexible surface that conforms well to contours while maintaining durability in wet or dry conditions. When used with water, these sheets significantly reduce dust contamination in your work environment while extending abrasive life by keeping the cutting surface clean and free of debris.
