Product Details
The 3M™ Stikit™ paper disc roll 426U contains 125 sanding discs, each measuring 5 inches in diameter with a NH (non-hole) configuration, featuring silicon carbide abrasive rated at grit 80. These discs are designed for use in high-production environments and are ideal for applications such as white wood sanding, sealer sanding, solid surface finishing, and any situation where a fine finish is critical. The discs incorporate silicon carbide abrasive with a load-resistant coating and an open coat abrasive pattern, which helps to minimize loading by allowing dust and debris to collect in the spaces between abrasive grains. This abrasive type provides a fast cutting action and produces a smoother finish compared to aluminum oxide or garnet abrasives, making it effective for finishing hard woods and solid surfaces. The discs are constructed with A-weight light paper backing and a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) that allows them to flex with the backup pad and conform to contours, ensuring consistent finishes. The PSA backing also facilitates quick and secure attachment or removal during multi-step sanding and finishing processes. These discs are compatible with rotary and random orbital sanders and are suitable for general sanding, finishing, blending, surface leveling, and preparation prior to staining or painting on bare wood. Silicon carbide, being a synthetic mineral, is commonly employed for low-pressure sanding applications and, while it breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it provides a superior finish. The product is designed to maintain strong adhesion and durability under typical working conditions, with open coat construction offering a more aggressive cut than a closed coat of the same grit. Warranty information and specific compliance details are according to 3M standards for abrasive products.
