    Adhesive-Back Sanding Discs

    Press these discs onto sanding tools or backup pads for a hold that won’t slip. To ensure the best bond, clean the pad with a mild alcohol—avoid harsh solvents such as MEK and acetone that can damage the adhesive. Also known as PSA discs.
    Cloth Abrasive Backing—Resist tearing and hold up to wet sanding better than paper-backed discs.
    Aluminum Oxide Abrasive—The most versatile and affordable abrasive we offer. Aluminum oxide is the go-to choice for general purpose sanding.
    Zirconia Alumina Abrasive—A step up from aluminum oxide. Zirconia alumina's tough grains remove material faster and last longer but require heavy pressure to cut properly.
    Grit—The lower the grit number, the rougher the finish and the duller the appearance. The higher the grit number, the more polished the finish and the more satin or mirrored the appearance.

    Adhesive-Back Sanding Discs for Soft Metals, Plastic, and Rubber

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sanding Discs. Adhesive-Back Sanding Discs for Soft Metals, Plastic, and Rubber.
    Prevent clogging and smearing when sanding soft materials. The abrasive won’t trap particles, so these discs stay sharp longer. Press them onto sanding tools or backup pads for a hold that won’t slip. To ensure the best bond, clean the pad with a mild alcohol—avoid harsh solvents such as MEK and acetone that can damage the adhesive. Also known as PSA discs.
    Cloth Abrasive Backing—Resist tearing and hold up to wet sanding better than paper-backed discs.
    Synthetic Paper Abrasive Backing—Waterproof to resist deterioration and curling when used for wet sanding.
    Silicon Carbide Abrasive—Super sharp to cut quickly under light pressure. Silicon carbide is hard but brittle, so it tends to wear out sooner than other abrasives.
    Grit—The lower the grit number, the rougher the finish and the duller the appearance. The higher the grit number, the more polished the finish and the more satin or mirrored the appearance.

    Spend more time sanding and less time replacing clogged discs. A slick coating prevents dust and debris buildup on the abrasive surface. Press these discs onto sanding tools or backup pads for a hold that won’t slip. To ensure the best bond, clean the pad with a mild alcohol—avoid harsh solvents such as MEK and acetone that can damage the adhesive. Also known as PSA discs.

    Nylon Mesh Hook and Loop Sanding Discs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sanding Discs. Nylon Mesh Hook and Loop Sanding Discs.
    Supported by nylon mesh instead of paper or cloth, these discs achieve a more consistent finish. Also known as non-woven or surface-conditioning discs, they resist clogging and flex to compensate for uneven sanding pressure. They’re good for everything from heavy rust removal and deburring to blending and paint prep. The hook-and-loop backing lets you switch grits without waste, unlike adhesive-backed discs. Pair them with a compatible sanding tool or backup pad.
    Aluminum Oxide Abrasive—The most versatile and affordable abrasive we offer. Aluminum oxide is the go-to choice for general purpose sanding.
    Nylon Mesh Grade—Use coarser grade discs for heavy cleaning, stripping, and deburring. Finer grades remove material more slowly, so they're best for gentle cleaning, blending, and finishing.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sanding Discs. Adhesive-Back Sanding Discs for Masonry, Ceramics, and Composites.
    The hardest of all abrasives, diamond is the best choice for extremely hard materials. These discs cut quickly and wear slowly when sanding masonry, ceramics, and composites. Press them onto sanding tools or backup pads for a hold that won’t slip. To ensure the best bond, clean the pad with a mild alcohol—avoid harsh solvents such as MEK and acetone that can damage the adhesive. Also known as PSA discs.

    Achieve a more consistent finish to prepare surfaces for painting and coating. With a nylon mesh backing instead of cloth or paper, these discs resist clogging and flex to compensate for uneven sanding pressure. They’re also known as non-woven or surface-conditioning discs. Mount directly onto your tool’s arbor for stable, controlled sanding without a backup pad.
    Aluminum Oxide Abrasive—The most versatile and affordable abrasive we offer. Aluminum oxide is the go-to choice for general purpose sanding.
    Flat Disc—The standard shape.
    Nylon Mesh Grade—Use coarser grade discs for heavy cleaning, stripping, and deburring. Finer grades remove material more slowly, so they're best for gentle cleaning, blending, and finishing.
