3M™ Stikit™ Gold Paper Disc Roll 216U, P240 A-weight, 5 in x NH, Die 500X, 175 Discs/Roll, 6 Rolls/Case

Designed for use with a random orbital sander, these discs are made of long-lasting aluminum oxide abrasive grains on a light A-weight paper backing suitable for lightweight sanding and finishing. The open coat and load-resistant coating help prevent loading for a longer service life, and make 3M™ Stikit™ Gold Paper Disc Roll 216U discs well-suited for general sanding and finishing applications on a variety of substrates, including paint, primer, wood, metal, plastic, and composites, including fiberglass.

3M™ Stikit™ discs are designed to handle a wide range of sanding and finishing needs. These high-quality, coated abrasive products come ready to use with a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the backside so they conveniently press on to the backup pad, and remove cleanly, leaving an uncontaminated surface for the next disc. A Stikit disc should be used in conjunction with a Stikit backup pad (also called a disc pad and sold separately) that is attached to a random orbital sander.

Loading occurs when wood or paint dust clogs the surface of the disc and the abrasive points, which can quickly make the disc ineffective. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains are spaced so that dust and debris can collect in the spaces rather than loading the disc. Additionally, the open coat feature provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade, for faster results.

• Convenient roll form means no liners to remove, increasing productivity
• Aluminum oxide mineral is durable, cuts fast, and performs well on many surfaces
• A-weight light paper backing is suitable for finishing applications
• Open coat construction minimizes dust on the abrasive and workpiece for increased productivity
• Load-resistant coating helps prevent premature loading of the disc surface to maximize cut and extend the life of the abrasive grains
