3M Trizact Hookit Film Disc 268XA uses proprietary microreplication technology where micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into tiny pyramids of abrasive mineral and then coated on a film backing. As these pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is continually exposed to produce a consistent cut and a predictable, fine finish.
- Proprietary 3M™ Trizact™ abrasives start sharp and stay sharp, resulting in more predictable finishes and improved, consistent results
- Creates high gloss level for glass defect repair and solid surface finishing
- Micron sized abrasive pyramids produce a high-gloss finish
- Well suited for use on mini random orbital sanders to produce a polish-ready finish
- Produces finer finishes than paper and film-backed abrasives

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Film Disc 268XA used for?
The 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Film Disc 268XA is a high-performance abrasive disc designed to help auto body technicians achieve flawless finishes when dealing with difficult surface defects like dust nibs, orange peel texture or paint runs.
-
What makes the disc unique compared to other sandpapers?
Unlike traditional abrasives, which deteriorate from excess heat buildup and clogging, the 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Film Disc utilizes precisely patterned pyramids instead of conventional abrasive grains. This allows for longer-lasting discs that reduce steps in multi-stage processes.
-
Can I use this on any type of car paint finish?
Yes! The disc works great on all automotive paints, including clear coats and harder repair coatings. It is versatile enough for use with water-back systems if required.
-
How long does each hook-and-loop attachment last?
Depending upon how much pressure you put on it during use as well as how often you change out your sanding discs, each attachment point should hold several times before needing replacement (approximately twenty-five times depending).
-
Is there anything else I need before using the product?
The only additional item necessary would be a backing pad/HookIt Pad interface to utilize this product as needed.
Compared to conventional abrasive products, 3M™ Trizact™ abrasives offer a finer finish, faster results, and longer-lasting performance. The 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Film Disc 268XA is a versatile option suitable for use on a variety of solid surfaces and topcoats, accommodating most finish and process requirements. It features the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system, allowing for quick mounting and removal and secure placement during use. Hookit™ discs attach firmly to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used for the life of the disc. This disc can be used wet or dry.
3M™ Trizact™ discs differ from conventional abrasives in that they start sharp and stay sharp, resulting in more predictable finishes and improved, consistent quality. They are designed to last longer than conventional discs and provide precise finish control, reducing grade sequences and requiring fewer process steps and abrasive products. Three-dimensional structures uniformly distributed over the entire surface ensure consistent performance and eliminate disc-to-disc variation.
The 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Film Disc 268XA uses an aluminum oxide abrasive mineral. Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
