Foam Blocks

Foam Blocks

Detailed description

For a rapid & simple surface finish

The universally applicable foam Standard Block for painter & joiners is distinguished by a perfect combination of high removal capacity & very good surface quality. The Standard Block adapts to all surfaces, edges & profiles in an optimum way thanks to its 4-sided grit coating. In addition, the Standard Block can be cleaned easily with compressed air or in water & can be used several times. The specially designed Combination Block is an ideal solution to sanding of areas with limited access or require a more professional solution to sanding of curves or tight areas (i.e. slots, rebates in window frames). Shaped block includes radius, angled & rhomboid angles. 

Advantages

  • Highly aggressive & robust with uniform surface quality.
  • Coated on four sides, ideal for applications in rebates & on flat surfaces.
  • For use in the woodworking, piant & varnish industry.
  • Little tendency to clog

Application - Paint & Filler

  • Sanding of paint, filler & old varnish
  • Keying of wood, metal or plastic prior to painting.
  • Keying of paint coats in rebates & surfaces.
  • Removal of paint runs & coating errors.

Application - Varnish

  • Wood sanding before varnishing.
  • Intermediate sanding of varnish on surfaces, rebates & gentle curves.
  • Sanding out of varnish errors (i.e. runs, orange peel & dust inclusions).

Three good reasons in favour of foam abrasives include low clogging due to soft backing materials & flexible grit adhesion ensuring dust is releashed from the surface of the block, pressure equalization reduces sanding-through of finishes & prevents pressure spots from fingers & adaptable to contours especially on shaped surfaces or areas of limited access. Abrasive does not fold or buckle in use permits an even abrasive pattern without scratching.
