An aluminum oxide Stikit disc roll constructed on a C weight, intermediate paper backing. Grade: P220. Primary markets: metalworking, woodworking.
The 3M™ Stikit™ Paper Disc Roll 236U offers a versatile disc with a convenient adhesive backing ready for quick and easy attachment to a Stikit backup pad (sold separately). The roll offers quick access to a disc and eliminates disc liners. The 236U disc features a strong, C-weight paper backing that resists wear during aggressive sanding, and its open-coat construction and load-resistant coating help prevent clogging to maximize cut and the useful life of the disc. Stikit 236U sanding discs can be used for sanding and finishing on many different surfaces, such as paint, primer, softwood, metal, plastic, and composites, including fiberglass.
Stikit™ discs are designed to handle a wide range of sanding and finishing needs. These high-quality, coated abrasive products come ready to use with a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the backside so they conveniently press on to the backup pad, and remove cleanly, leaving an uncontaminated surface for the next disc. A Stikit disc should be used in conjunction with a Stikit backup pad (also called a disc pad and sold separately) that is attached to a disc sander, random orbital sander, or stationary disc sander.
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Stikit™ 236U discs feature a load-resistant coating that allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the surface of the disc and hinder sanding ability. An open coat means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust can escape rather than loading the cutting edge of the grains, thereby optimizing cut-rate and disc life.
