Silicon Carbide Abrasive Paper | Woodworking, metal polishing, automotive | - Waterproof (ASTM D3317 compliant) ▲ - Grit 60-2000Cw (ISO 6344-1) - Electro-coated (uniform abrasive distribution) | ▲ Superior durability for industrial use Handles wet/dry applications Sharp edges for precision sanding | Higher cost than standard papers Rapid loading on soft materials like plastics |
Aluminum Oxide Sandpaper | General sanding, metal prep | - Non-waterproof - Grit 40-1200 (ANSI B74.17) - Resin-bonded (longer lifespan) | Cost-effective for basic tasks Gradual wear for consistent results | Not suitable for wet use Less aggressive on hard metals |
Wet/Dry Sandpaper | Automotive paintwork, glass polishing | - Ceramic Aluminum Oxide (enhanced heat resistance) - Grit 400-2000 (ISO 6344-1) - Wet/dry compatibility | ▲ Smoothest finishes for paintwork Reduces dust in enclosed spaces | Brittle at coarse grits Not ideal for rough metal stripping |
Coated Abrasive Discs | Power tool sanding, heavy-duty prep | - Electro-coated (ISO 13501) - Grit 36-600 (OSHA-compliant) - Hook-and-loop backing | ▲ Fast material removal with power tools Reusable with disc mandrels | Less control compared to hand sanding Higher risk of uneven wear |
Drywall Sandpaper | Drywall finishing, joint compound smoothing | - Open coat (reduces clogging) - Grit 24-120 (ASTM C390) - Flocked backing (dust suppression) | ▲ Minimal dust for indoor use Efficient for large surface areas | Limited grit options for fine detailing Not suitable for metalwork |
Zirconia Alumina Sandpaper | Heavy metalworking, rust removal | - Zirconia alumina blend (SAE J1101) - Grit 40-400 (aggressive cutting) - Thick paper backing | ▲ Hardest abrasive for rust/oxide removal Resists loading on metal surfaces | Noisier operation Rapid wear at coarse grits |
