3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain Abrasive Disc Abrasive Disc, 152.4 mm, 180+ Grade, 180 Grit

3M Adhesive-Backed/PSA Sanding Disc, 152.4mm Disc Diameter, 180 Grit size - 7100288233

This adhesive-backed/PSA sanding disc is designed for general-purpose sanding, stock removal, scuffing and surface preparation across a range of substrates in industrial settings. It combines a precision-shaped ceramic abrasive with an open net backing to enable dust extraction when used with a compatible support pad and vacuum. The hook-and-loop-style attachment integrated into the net backing permits Rapid disc changes without aligning extraction holes.

Features & Benefits

• Precision-shaped ceramic grain delivers consistent cutting performance
  Blend with aluminium oxide reduces loading during sanding
  Net backing enables effective dust extraction with vacuum systems
  Integrated loop attachment allows fast, tool-free disc changes
  Proprietary patterned coating balances cut rate and surface finish
  Suitable for sustained use up to specified orbiting speeds

Applications

• Suitable for paint removal on automotive panels prior to refinishing
  Ideal for sanding composite parts in aerospace component prep
  Used for surface scuffing of filled and primed substrates
  Can be used for intermediate finishing of gelcoat and whitewood
  Suitable for metal deburring and stock removal in mechanical workshops

What backing system supports dust extraction during use?

The open net backing pairs with a support pad and vacuum to evacuate dust through the disc structure, improving visibility and reducing airborne particles.

How does the abrasive formulation affect lifespan in high-traffic workshops?

The combination of precision-shaped ceramic grain with aluminium oxide sustains cutting action and reduces loading, which helps maintain abrasive life under heavy-duty cycles.

What attachment method is provided for Rapid disc replacement?

Loops are integrated into the net backing to work with a hook-and-loop attachment system, enabling quick changes without aligning extraction holes.

How should the discs be stored on site to preserve performance?

Store in original packaging at moderate room temperature and controlled humidity on a first-in to first-out basis to avoid shortened shelf life due to heat or moisture.
