The 3M Hookit Gold Disc 236U is precision-coated for long life during auto body sanding projects requiring moderately coarse grit abrasives. Open coat aluminum oxide abrasive and C-weight paper backing provide durability and a long-lasting cut for rough feather-edging or shaping plastic filler and putty. Load-resistant coating and available 6-hole pattern provide superior dust resistance. Fine Results for Medium-Coarse Sanding: A grade range from P80 to P180 along with durable C-weight paper backing make our 3M Hookit Gold Disc 236U ideal for auto body sanding projects including rough feather-edging, scratch refinement on bare metal, paint removal around damaged areas and more. With its open coat construction and aluminum oxide mineral abrasive, it provides a sharp cut - more aggressive than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade - without dust accumulating on the disc. The Hookit Gold Disc 236U is available in 3- or 6-inch diameter sizes for substrates including clear coat, fiberglass, filler, metal, paint, plastic and putty.
Resists Dust and Debris: Open coat construction means the abrasive grains on our 3M Hookit Gold Disc 236U are placed with space between them to help evacuate sanding dust and other debris to avoid clogging the cutting edge of the grains. The load-resistant coating on the abrasive grains also allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding paints, fillers, putties and other materials that would otherwise clog the disc and hinder sanding ability. All of this adds up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption.
The 6-hole pattern on select versions of 3M Hookit Gold Disc 236U facilitates dust evacuation, especially when used with a vacuum system. This design doesn't even require alignment of holes with the disc pad, making disc changes quick and simple.
About Aluminum Oxide Abrasive: Aluminum oxide is popular among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in metalworking, including ferrous alloys, for auto body applications.
3M's Hookit Attachment System: 3M offers a complete line of hook-and-loop style Hookit discs for work spaces where adhesive backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt, or flying debris. Hookit™ sanding discs conveniently and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on a random orbital sander, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used again and again for the extent of the abrasive life.
Durable from Front to Back: Through a combination of science and strength - from the grain to the back-up disc pad attachment - 3M Hookit Gold Disc 236U delivers long disc life, consistently sharp cut and superior dust resistance for better auto body operations.
Trusted 3M Hookit Gold
The 3M Hookit Gold Disc 236U, 00980 is a reliable choice for auto body sanding. This model features the Hookit attachment system, making disc changes quick and easy while maximizing the disc's life.

Precise P150 Grade Performance
This product comes in a P150 grit, perfect for medium-coarse sanding tasks. The grade supports rough feather-edging and paint removal around damaged areas, providing a sharp and aggressive cut.
With the P150 grit, users can refine scratches on bare metal and shape plastic filler effectively. This grade balances cutting speed and finish quality for various auto body projects.
Six Inch Disc Size
The discs measure 6 inches in diameter, offering a versatile size for many sanding applications. This dimension fits well on random orbital sanders, providing good surface coverage and control.
6-inch discs are suitable for sanding clear coat, fiberglass, filler, metal, paint, plastic, and putty. Their size supports efficient work on both large and detailed areas.
Bulk Pack Convenience
Each carton contains 100 discs, and the product is sold in cases of 4 cartons. This bulk packaging ensures a steady supply for ongoing projects without frequent reordering.
Having 400 discs per case supports high-volume work environments, reducing downtime. It’s ideal for shops needing consistent access to quality sanding discs.
Durable C-Weight Backing
The discs use C-weight paper backing, which holds up well during tough jobs like rough feather-edging. This backing adds strength and durability to the sanding disc.
Combined with aluminum oxide abrasive, the C-weight backing helps maintain disc life and cutting efficiency. It supports long-lasting use on various surfaces in auto body work.
