Foam Pads

Foam Pads

Detailed description

The Standard Pad with extra-soft backing material adapts perfectly to all profiled & rounded work pieces & exhibits a very low clogging tendency in applications with varnish, filler & paints. These characteristics ensure an even & perfect abrasive pattern without scratching. The abrasive sponge can also be used when moist for special applications.

Advantages

  • Perfect surface results, thanks to pressure-distributing foam.
  • No sanding through on intermediate varnish sanding due to excessive compressive forces.
  • Perfect adaptation to the work piece.
  • Can be used wet or dry.
  • Little tendency to clog.

Application - Paints & Fillers

  • Keying of bases before painting.
  • Keying of paint & fillers on surfaces & profiles.
  • Intermediate sanding between coats of paint.

Application - Varnish

  • Wood sanding prior to varnishing.
  • Intermediate varnish sanding on curves, flats & profiles.
  • Sanding out minor varnish errors.
  • Fine wood sanding after washing.

Standard Pad Super White K180 version has been specifically designed for users who place maximum emphasis on extremely fine, pure & gleaming surfaces. The combination of soft backing material &  white aluminium oxide produces a surface quality to satisfy the highest demands.

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.
