Use Wet or Dry
Used with water, 3M Wetordry Cloth Disc 281W prevents loading of the abrasive during the finishing process. It prevents dust and debris from clogging the abrasive and dulling the mineral, so it can continue cutting sharp and fast. This versatile cloth product is ideal on e-coat primer and may also be used dry for finishing metal and gel coats. In the marine industry, it’s commonly used for sanding old finishes, fine feather edging and surface work.
Our 3M Wetordry Cloth Disc 281W is made with aluminum oxide mineral, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral is tough and durable, self fracturing to expose fresh cutting edges. Conversely, traditional natural minerals like garnet dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness and strength, aluminum oxide is widely used in grinding applications, as well as sanding and finishing applications. It’s suitable for a wide variety of materials in both metalworking and the marine/fiberglass markets.The Benefits of Cloth-Backed Discs
We engineer our 3M Wetordry products to include a waterproof cloth backing, which supports both wet and dry applications. At the same time, these applications tend to produce a significant amount of dust, clogging the abrasive points and creating an inferior work environment. These effects may be minimized by sanding with water to rinse dust away from the workpiece and the abrasive surface.
Having a water-resistant abrasive can come in handy when finishing on materials like paint and primer. As these substrates tend to generate a lot of debris, our 3M Wetordry Cloth 281W can be paired with water to keep both the abrasive and workpiece clean and produce the soft finish industrial professionals desire.3M Wetordry Cloth Disc
The 3M Wetordry Cloth Disc 281W is designed for reliable performance with a strong, waterproof mesh cloth backing. This backing allows the disc to be used wet or dry, making it versatile for various finishing tasks.
Its unique mesh cloth helps prevent loading, keeping the abrasive surface clean and effective. The disc clips onto a hand pad, making it easy to handle during manual sanding jobs.
Precise 5 Inch Size
This product comes in a 5 inch diameter size, ideal for detailed finishing and sanding projects. The size fits well for hand applications and offers good control over the sanding process.
With a 5 in x NH format, the disc is compatible with specific hand or backup pads that use clamps or clips, ensuring a secure fit during use.
Grade P800 Abrasive
The disc features a P800 grade abrasive, which is perfect for fine finishing and smoothing surfaces. This grade balances cutting efficiency with a smooth finish, suitable for delicate tasks.
Using the P800 grade, the disc works well on substrates like e-coat primer, gel coat, and metal, providing a consistent and high-quality finish.
Aluminum Oxide Mineral
3M Wetordry Cloth Disc 281W uses aluminum oxide mineral, known for its sharp cuts and long-lasting durability. This mineral self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining performance over time.
Aluminum oxide is widely used in industrial sanding because it cuts fast and stays sharp, making it suitable for metalworking and marine or fiberglass applications.
