Made to blend, clean and detail super alloys, tool steels, iron, soft metals, titanium, fiberglass and composites, the aluminum oxide of this Merit Surface Prep AO coarse grit non-woven standard back-up pad disc offers up to 50-percent better performance and 20-percent higher cut rate than competitors' offerings. With a thick layer of resin bond and grain on tough nylon scrim and high-loft nylon fiber, this disc stays stiff and solid even under constant use. The Clean Bond resin technology delivers a consistently smear-free finish while reducing loading on soft metals, such as aluminum.

Features

  • Quality aluminum oxide abrasive grain coating provides up to 20% higher cut rate and 50% better performance than competitive products
  • Coarse grit for preliminary blending, cleaning, detailing, and finishing stainless steels; tool steels; soft metals like aluminum; cast, ductile, and gray iron, fiberglass, composites, carbon steels, super alloys, and titanium
  • High-loft nylon fiber bonded to a strong nylon scrim backing by a thick layer of resin bond and grain for extended life, added durability and stiffness
  • Proprietary Clean Bond resin technology guarantees smear-free finishes even on high nickel content alloys and reduces loading on aluminum and other soft metals
