3M Hookit Gold Film Disc 255L, 5 in x NH, D/F 5 HL P180, Die 500FH, 100/Carton, 4 Cartons/Case

• 3M Hookit discs are easy to change and reuse, maximizing utility for the life of the disc
• Aluminum oxide abrasive offers a fast cut, long life, and professional performance on many surfaces
• Load-resistant coating prevents dust and debris from clogging the disc
• Open coat construction provides a more aggressive cut
• Tear-resistant film backing provides a close-tolerance, consistent finish

3M Hookit Gold Film Disc 255L features aluminum oxide abrasive grain on a film backing for a fast cut-rate and uniform, close-tolerance finish on wood, paint prep, and defect repair applications. The flexible film backing provides a consistent finish and greater tear-resistance than a comparable paper product, making it well-suited for a high-production environment.

Our 3M Hookit hook-and-loop attachment works well by enabling easy re-use when switching between grades before the discs are worn out. The open coat feature provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade, and the disc's load-resistant coating reduces clogging of the disc, making this a good choice for woodworking and other applications where loading hinders performance. Designed for use with a random orbital sander, this disc comes in a range of grades for fine sanding and finishing, and is resin-bonded for reliable performance under high heat and pressure.

We chose aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a popular choice 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 both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. Coated abrasive discs cut better and last longer when dust isn't clogging the cutting surface of the abrasives. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains 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 also allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the disc and hinder sanding ability. Additionally, the open coat feature provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade. All of this adds up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption.

Here at 3M we offer 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. They are often used in applications where a 3M Stikit disc may be too aggressive, as Hookit discs tend to leave finer finishes than adhesive backed discs. 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.

3M Hookit Gold Model

The 3M Hookit Gold Film Disc 255L is designed for professional use, featuring the trusted 3M brand and the specific 255L model. This ensures you get a high-quality abrasive disc that meets industrial standards. The Hookit system allows easy attachment and removal, making it efficient for repeated use.

Its hook-and-loop backing system supports quick changes between discs, helping you maintain productivity. This model is ideal for users who need reliable performance and consistent results in sanding and finishing tasks.

Precise Five Inch Size

This disc comes in a 5 inch diameter, which fits many common random orbital sanders. The 5 in x NH size ensures compatibility with a wide range of sanding equipment, making it versatile for various projects.

Using the correct size helps achieve a smooth finish and efficient sanding. The 5 inch dimension balances surface coverage and control, suitable for detailed work and larger surface areas alike.

Durable Film Backing

The disc features a tear-resistant film backing, providing a close-tolerance and consistent finish. This backing is more durable than paper alternatives, allowing for longer use in demanding environments.

Film backing also supports the aluminum oxide abrasive grain, enhancing the disc’s fast cut-rate and uniform finish. This makes it perfect for wood, paint prep, and defect repair applications.

Grade P180 Abrasive

The disc is specified as D/F 5 HL P180, indicating a P180 grade abrasive. This grade is suitable for fine sanding and finishing tasks, offering a balance between material removal and surface smoothness.

P180 grit is commonly used in woodworking and metalworking to prepare surfaces for finishing or painting. It’s effective for smoothing defects and achieving a professional finish.

Bulk Pack Convenience

These discs come in a pack of 100 per carton, with 4 cartons per case, totaling 400 discs. This bulk packaging is ideal for high-production environments or workshops needing a steady supply.

Buying in bulk reduces downtime for reordering and ensures you always have the right abrasive on hand. The pack size supports cost efficiency and consistent workflow.
