3M Scotch-Brite (TM) compact disc EXL pressed 115 mm x 22 mm 7000028517

Scotch-Brite (TM) EXL Compressed Compact Disc XL-UD features a blend of abrasive mineral and nylon fibers. Our EXL Unitized discs have a fabric that is cured and compressed for added strength and durability. The Scotch-Brite (TM) EXL compact disc is ideal for deburring and polishing with its strong and durable compressed nonwoven construction. Our bonded EXL compact discs are designed to blend abrasive and nylon fibers with synthetic resin. The nonwoven is cured and compressed for added strength and durability. Higher density EXL materials can be extremely tenacious and aggressively abrasive, allowing them to effectively deburr edges and corners without damaging the workpiece. Lower density materials are soft, conformable and provide a finer finish. They are ideal for finishing contoured surfaces. These sanding discs prevent smearing, giving you cleaner surfaces and reducing preparation time. They are available with silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive mineral. Silicon carbide is a very sharp-edged, synthetic abrasive commonly used for low-pressure applications such as painting and finishing work. Aluminum oxide is a hard, blocky mineral with a high removal rate and long durability. Although silicon carbide removes faster compared to aluminum oxide, it produces a finer finish. Compact products are durable due to their production process. The compression and hardening of multiple layers of abrasive creates a tough and dense abrasive that can be used for heavy deburring and polishing tasks. They are mounted on a 114.3 mm backing pad with a 22.23 mm diameter center hole to achieve the proper angle on rotary tools. Scotch-Brite abrasives are unique products for surface finishing. The abrasives are bonded in a non-woven fiber matrix. The combination of abrasive and non-woven material creates an abrasive system that achieves consistent results throughout the life of the product. The open non-woven structure enables cool sanding and is dust-repellent, so that the nylon fibers retain their high removal rate because they do not clog.
