Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| J-Weight Cloth Backing | J-weight cloth backing flexes and bends without tearing, lasting 5× longer than paper-backed sandpaper even under heavy machine use while maintaining consistent performance throughout demanding applications. This durable construction eliminates project interruptions from torn abrasives and reduces replacement costs significantly in professional workshops. |
| Aluminum Oxide Abrasive | Aluminum oxide abrasive self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining sharp performance throughout the roll's life instead of dulling like traditional abrasives, ensuring consistent material removal rates and surface finish quality. This advanced abrasive technology delivers predictable results from first use to last yard of the roll. |
| Custom Tear Design | Tears cleanly by hand into custom strips for specific tasks, or use continuously on sanding drums and belt sanders for large surface areas, providing versatility that adapts to various project requirements. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple abrasive products while enabling precise material usage and waste reduction. |
| P120 Grit Rating | P120 medium grit provides optimal balance between material removal and surface finish quality, making it ideal for intermediate sanding stages and surface preparation work across metal, wood, and composite materials. This versatile grit rating eliminates the need for frequent abrasive changes during multi-stage finishing processes. |
