3M Sanding Screen Sheet 483W employs fast-cutting, sharp silicon carbide mineral bonded to a durable screen cloth mesh. Extremely load-resistant, use it wet or dry for buffing and finishing both soft woods and metal surfaces.

Silicon Carbide Coated Abrasive Mesh
The unique characteristics of our 3M™ Sanding Screen Sheet 483W are its open mesh backing and its sharp, fast-cutting abrasive mineral.

Commonly called "drywall paper," our 3M™ Sanding Screen Sheet 483W offers extreme resistance to loading on soft woods, drywall and metal by utilizing an open-mesh cloth backing that keeps loading to a minimum and resists the friction and heat of continuous sanding. It is ideal for plaster, drywall and other substrates that would load conventional abrasives with the copious amount of fine, flourlike dust they generate.

A waterproof resin bond allows this sheet to be run in wet applications. The sheet comes in 6 grades from 60 to 180.

Silicon Carbide Coated Abrasive Mesh
A hard and brittle mineral, silicon carbide fractures easily, resulting in freshly exposed sharp edges that cut extra fast and produce a smooth, professional-looking finish. Silicon carbide products are commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep and finishing on wood and metal. While it wears faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish.

Body in White: White Metal Repair Highlighting
Our 3M™ Sanding Screen Sheet 483W is frequently used in white metal repair operations. Car bodies that have been welded together typically have oily surfaces, so the open mesh backing on this abrasive is useful.

Stamping operations frequently leave imperfections on car panels. 3M screen cloth products are used to sand lightly on the car panels, causing high spots to shine a little brighter. The screen cloth works well because the oily surface does not load.

Precise Silicon Carbide Mineral

This sanding screen uses silicon carbide mineral, known for its sharp and fast-cutting properties. The mineral’s hardness allows it to fracture and expose fresh edges, which helps achieve a smooth, professional finish quickly.

Because it cuts efficiently, the 3M Sanding Screen Sheet 483W works best with light pressure. This makes it especially useful for paint prep and finishing on wood and metal surfaces, where a fine finish is critical.

Optimal Size And Format

Each sheet measures 9 inches by 11 inches, providing ample surface area for sanding tasks. The open screen backing format helps prevent clogging, which keeps the abrasive working effectively over time.

Sold in cartons of 25 sheets and cases of 250 sheets, this pack size suits both small projects and larger jobs. The format supports easy handling and storage, making it convenient for various work environments.

Versatile Wet Or Dry

The 3M Sanding Screen Sheet 483W can be used wet or dry, thanks to its waterproof resin bond. This flexibility allows users to choose the best method for their specific sanding needs without worrying about damaging the sheet.

Wet sanding helps reduce dust and heat buildup, while dry sanding is quick and efficient. This versatility makes the 483W model suitable for a wide range of materials, including soft woods and metals.

Effective Pack Count Options

Available in a carton of 25 sheets and a case containing 250 sheets, the 3M Sanding Screen Sheet 483W offers options for different project sizes. This makes it easy to buy the right quantity without excess waste or shortage.
