sandpaper

Specification Highlights:

• Abrasive Materials:

  • Aluminum Oxide – durable, for wood and metal

  • Silicon Carbide – sharp, for hard materials and wet sanding

  • Garnet – softer, for fine wood finishing

  • Zirconia Alumina – heavy-duty grinding applications

  • Ceramic – high-performance sanding of metal and composites

• Backing Types:

  • Paper-backed – most common and economical

  • Cloth-backed – flexible and durable

  • Film-backed – waterproof and tear-resistant

  • Foam-backed – for contoured surfaces

  • Mesh – open structure for dust-free sanding

• Grit Sizes (Grain Size):

  • Coarse (40–60 grit) – for stripping, heavy sanding

  • Medium (80–120 grit) – for smoothing rough surfaces

  • Fine (150–180 grit) – for final surface prep before finishing

  • Very Fine (220–400 grit) – for between-coat sanding

  • Micro-Fine (600–3000+ grit) – for polishing and ultra-fine work

• Grades & Standards:

  • FEPA (European - P-grade): P40, P80, P120, etc.

  • CAMI (US Standard): 40, 80, 120, etc.

  • Waterproof / Wet & Dry sandpapers for wet sanding applications

• Form Factors:

  • Sheets (9” × 11”)

  • Rolls

  • Belts (for belt sanders)

  • Discs (with or without holes, for orbital sanders)

  • Pads and sponges

• Coating Types:

  • Open Coat – for wood, prevents clogging

  • Closed Coat – more abrasive material, for metal

  • Electrostatic or Resin Bonded – enhances grit adhesion and durability
