Product Details
The 3M utility cloth roll measures 2 inches wide by 50 yards long and features 500 grit aluminum oxide abrasive. The strip length can be torn from the roll for specific applications. Most grades have a light J-weight cloth backing that provides flexibility to conform to circular edges, angles, or other contours, while rolls in grades P50 or P60 feature a slightly stiffer X-weight backing suitable for coarser sanding applications. The cloth remains durable even when bent or rolled without tearing or shelling, yet strips can be torn by hand without compromising the sanding surface. Aluminum oxide is a durable abrasive mineral known for its fast cut rate and long life; it self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, making it suitable for a wide range of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, and plastic. Typical applications include cleaning, contour finishing, deburring, and rust removal, with common industries being marine and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO).
