silicon carbide grit

Available grits include 36, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 240, 400, 600, 800 and 1000.

They are offered in several formats, including self-adhesive sandpaper sheets, cloth screens, and sanding belts. Backings include paper and cloth (multi-layer constructions are also used).

Cleaning options include brushing or rinsing to remove debris, hand washing with water and mild detergent, and rinsing between coats. Some cloth screens are described as washable and reusable.

They are suitable for wood and a wide range of metals and engineered materials, including stainless steel, various alloys, thermoplastics, and composite materials.

Common formats include large precut floor sheets (about 18" x 12"), round edger discs (around 7"), rectangular screens (about 11-1/4" x 4-3/16"), and sanding belts such as 2" x 42" and 2" x 72".

Features include anti-clogging coatings, open-weave screen designs that reduce loading, and the tough silicon carbide grain which is described as running cooler during use.

They are commonly used to remove old finishes, sand and smooth surfaces, prepare wood floors for refinishing, and remove rust, scale, and corrosion from various materials.

Items are described for use with floor sanding machines and floor edging sanders. Belts are compatible with standard belt sanders using 2" x 42" and 2" x 72" belts.

The drywall screen is described using a "P-graded silicon carbide" label and features an open-weave screen design.
