3M(TM) Clean Sanding Sheet 236U, C-Weight Paper, Hook and Loop Attachment, Aluminum Oxide, 4″ Length x 3″ Width, P80 Grit, Gold, Pack of 50

3M Hookit Clean Sanding Sheet 236U offers superior dust
control, aggressive cut, and long life on a premium aluminum oxide sheet with
a durable edge and convenient 3M Hookit attachment. It features a proprietary
multi-hole Clean Sanding pattern that evacuates dust better than traditional
sheet products — dramatically increasing sheet life. From the Manufacturer 3M
Hookit Clean Sanding Sheet 236U is well suited for high production sanding
operations as well as general purpose applications.Choose the 3M Hookit Clean
Sanding Sheet 236U for blending and finishing on aluminum and carbon steel,
and for woodworking applications such as heavy and medium stock removal and
finishing on hardwoods, softwoods, and composites. This sheet also works well
on primer, paint, sealers, topcoats, fiberglass, and plastics. Designed for
use with a rectangular orbital sander, the strong C-weight paper backing
resists tearing and edgewear during aggressive sanding, and the sheet is
resin-bonded for heat-resistance, further increasing life and cut. This sheet
also features an open coat and a load-resistant coating to enhance dust
management and cut-rate.To achieve maximum dust extraction, use this sheet
with the 3M Clean Sanding Hookit Pad and 3 x 4 inch (75 x 100mm) 3M Orbital
Sander with vacuum (both sold separately).Sandpaper cuts better and last
longer when dust isn’t loading the cutting surface of the abrasives. Reducing
dust is easier than ever with 3M Clean Sanding products. The 3M proprietary
multi-hole pattern on Clean Sanding products evacuates dust at a higher rate
than traditional dust free patterns. The multi-hole pattern achieves an ideal
balance between the abrasive surface and dust extraction holes to maximize cut
and optimize the life of the product. This hole design doesn’t even require
alignment of holes with the pad, making sheet changes quick and simple.
Suction via a vacuum system is drawn through the holes to collect dust from
the air and workpiece, for improved working conditions, sheet performance, and
overall productivity.3M Hookit Clean Sanding Sheet 236U also features a load-
resistant coating that allows the sheet to continue cutting even when sanding
softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the surface
of the sheet and hinder sanding ability. Loading is further reduced by an open
coat, which means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust
can escape rather than obstructing the cutting edge of the grains, thereby
optimizing cut-rate and sheet life.Sanding products come in a variety of forms
to fit various power tools and disc pads. 3M Clean Sanding products come with
a 3M Hookit attachment. A Hookit sheet conveniently and firmly attaches to a
hook-and-loop backup pad (sold separately) on an orbital sander. 3M Hookit
sheets are quick and easy to change when switching from one grade to another,
and can be reused again and again for the extent of the sheet life (whereas
adhesive-backed sheets are typically discarded after one use because the
adhesive backing will not re-adhere a second time). Aluminum oxide is a
popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and
long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to
expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more
quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used
in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications.
Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking
and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
