Hook and Loop Disc with D/F Paper Backing

The 3M® NX Hook and Loop Paper Disc is an excellent choice for use with random orbital or dual-action sanders on various substrates where loading is a concern.

Reliable and versatile performance

The 3M® NX Hook and Loop Paper Disc, made with aluminum oxide abrasive on a medium-weight paper backing (D-weight for grades 40, P60, P80; C-weight for grades P100-P800), delivers aggressive cutting action and long life. It is suitable for high-production operations as well as general-purpose applications on paint, primers, wood, metal, plastic, and fiberglass.

The open-coat construction and load-resistant coating help prevent clogging, even when working with softwoods or paints. The durable hook-and-loop backing allows for easy attachment and reuse, while the sturdy paper backing ensures the disc withstands prolonged use with dual-action or random orbital sanders.

Open-coat design for enhanced efficiency

The open-coat construction spaces the abrasive grains slightly apart, allowing dust and debris to escape and reducing clogging when sanding softwoods, paints, or other clog-prone materials. This design also enables a more aggressive cut compared to closed-coat abrasives of the same grade.

The load-resistant coating further reduces dust accumulation from wood, paint particles, and other debris, optimizing the cutting speed and extending the disc’s life.

Durable and effective abrasive technology

Aluminum oxide, a popular choice among industrial professionals, is known for its fast cutting rate and long life. This tough and durable mineral self-fractures to reveal fresh cutting edges, unlike natural abrasives, which dull more quickly. Its quick cutting action, hardness, and resilience make it suitable for a wide variety of sanding and finishing applications, including work on ferrous alloys, metal, and wood.

Designed for random orbital sanders

Hook-and-loop sanding discs are engineered for use with random orbital sanders, which rotate the disc in a random pattern to prevent swirl marks on the workpiece surface. These discs attach to a sanding pad or backing pad and are simple to change when switching between grits. They can be reused multiple times, unlike adhesive-backed sheets that must be discarded after a single use.

Choose the 3M® NX Hook and Loop Paper Disc for fast, efficient, and durable sanding across a wide range of materials and applications.
