3M™ Stikit™ Paper Disc 426U, 150 A-weight, Config

The 3M™ Stikit™ Paper Disc 426U is 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. The Stikit™ disc should be used in conjunction with the 3M™ Stikit™ backup pad (also called a disc pad and sold separately) that is attached to a disc sander, random orbital sander or stationary disc sander.

This paper disc uses silicon carbide mineral, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and smooth finish. This synthetic mineral is very hard and fractures easily, resulting in freshly exposed sharp edges that cut fast and produce a smooth finish. Silicon carbide products are commonly used for low-pressure applications such as sanding and finishing on wood, lacquer, paint and metal. While it wears faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish.

This disc also uses a resin bonding which is specially designed to resist thermal deterioration, which can occur during sanding. This bond is very tough and excellent for precision work on hard and soft wood.

• Light, A-weight paper backing offers excellent flexibility in hands on applications
• Silicon carbide mineral provides good cut and a consistent, fine finish
• Open coat construction provides excellent cut and reduced loading
• Resin bond construction reduces heat buildup and resists wear
