3M™ Paper Sheet 426U is a general purpose abrasive sanding sheet constructed on an A-weight, light paper backing and features an anti-loading coating and open coat construction. Silicon carbide abrasive and lightweight paper backing make this sheet an ideal product for finishing applications such as paint prep, white wood sanding, sealer sanding, and solid surface finishing.
Our silicon carbide abrasive sheets create a smoother finish than aluminum oxide or garnet abrasive products on painted metal and wood substrates. Its resin bond construction provides superior grain retention while the open coat construction, along with the load resistant coating, combine to provide excellent antiloading characteristics. The light A-weight backing provides conformability over contours and into crevasses and corners. The sheet can also be easily cut to fit a hand pad block, inline sanders, or finishing or power sanders. Other applications include general sanding, finishing, blending, surface leveling and prep prior to staining or painting. These versatile sanding sheets contain the ideal abrasive grain type and grades for multi-step finishing processes.
Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for final finishing in white wood sanding. While it breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish.
Trusted 3M Paper Sheet
The 3M Paper Sheet 426U is a reliable choice for sanding tasks. This model features an A-weight paper backing that offers flexibility, making it easier to finish contours and angles smoothly.
Its silicon carbide abrasive is perfect for general purpose sanding on various materials like wood, metal, and plastic. The 426U model is designed to deliver consistent results across different surfaces.
Flexible A-weight Backing
The 400 A-weight paper backing provides excellent conformability, allowing the sheet to adapt to curves and crevices. This flexibility is essential for detailed finishing work and ensures even sanding.
Because the backing is lightweight, it’s easy to cut and size according to your needs. This makes the sheets suitable for hand pads, inline sanders, or power sanders, enhancing their versatility.
Optimal Sheet Dimensions
Each sheet measures 9 inches by 11 inches, a convenient size for a variety of sanding applications. This dimension balances coverage and control, making it manageable for both large and small projects.
The sheets come in a pack of 100, providing ample supply for ongoing work. For larger needs, the case includes 1000 sheets, ensuring you won’t run out during extensive sanding jobs.
Advanced Coating Technology
The 3M Paper Sheet 426U features a load resistant coating combined with an open coat construction. This design minimizes loading, which helps maintain sanding efficiency and extends the sheet’s usable life.
These features make the sheets ideal for finishing tasks like paint prep and sealer sanding, where maintaining a clean abrasive surface is crucial for quality results.
Versatile Abrasive Performance
Silicon carbide abrasive is known for producing a smoother finish than aluminum oxide or garnet, especially on painted metal and wood. This makes the 426U sheet excellent for final finishing steps.
The abrasive breaks down faster but yields superior results, making it suitable for multi-step finishing processes such as white wood sanding and solid surface finishing.
