Sanding Sheets

Coated with aluminum oxide—the most common abrasive material, hard enough to sand steel and wood. It costs less than silicon carbide but is less sharp and takes longer to abrade.

Water-Resistant Sanding Sheets

These sheets resist deterioration when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding. They are coated with aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive, which is hard enough to sand steel and wood.
Sheets with plastic film backing have micron-graded abrasive particles that produce a more uniform and clean finish than standard sanding sheets because of their consistent size and spacing. The plastic backing resists tearing and bends like cloth, plus it has a high-friction coating to prevent slipping on the work surface—particularly good while wet sanding.

Water-Resistant Sanding Rolls

These rolls resist deterioration when used wet or with grease, chemicals, cutting fluids, and other solvents that may be present when sanding. They can be cut to length. Aluminum oxide is the most common abrasive, hard enough to sand steel and wood. To achieve uniform, close-tolerance finishes on your work surface, choose a roll with a listed micron grade.

Adhesive-Back Sanding Rolls for Stainless Steel and Hard Metals

Use these rolls to create consistent finishes on hard metals such as stainless steel, iron, and nickel. They have a slick coating that prevents debris from accumulating on the abrasive surface and keeps operating temperatures low. Cut the length you need and stick it on your sanding tool. When it’s time to change the sheet, peel it off.
Silicon carbide is one of the sharpest abrasives and generates minimal heat to prevent material buildup. Silicon carbide is better at fine finishes and polishing than ceramic alumina.
