PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Hook and Loop GP Disc 831608 made of?

    The 3M Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Hook and Loop GP Disc 831608, 5 in A VFN is composed of non-woven nylon fibers that are bonded with aluminum oxide mineral.

  2. What types of surfaces can be used with these discs?

    The versatile nature of these discs makes them ideal for use on a wide variety of surfaces such as stainless steel, carbon steel, soft metals like brass or copper, or hard woods.

  3. What benefits do I get from using this product?

    These pads not only produce a finish free from burns but also generate less dust. Most importantly they offer consistent performance throughout its life span. Its versatile design ensures better results across various tasks.

  4. How long does the abrasive last before it needs to be replaced?

    The capability to sand edges without leaving any discolorations shows how long-lasting our abrasives can be. However their durability drops once clogged up by debris- which requires much cleaning time instead purchasing new ones.

Moderately Aggressive for Lighter-Weight Applications

The Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Hook and Loop GP Disc is a versatile and multi-purpose product that is great for general-duty industrial applications. It is the least aggressive among the four Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend materials, making it suitable for light-weight applications. This product can be used to remove light oxidation, blend minor surface imperfections, clean surfaces prior to coatings, remove small burrs, and perform basic equipment cleanup.

The Buff and Blend GP products work well on a variety of substrates, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminum, high nickel/chrome alloys, and stainless steel. The non-woven construction of this disc makes it spongy and responsive, allowing it to conform to workpiece contours or irregularities.

For higher-pressure applications, it is recommended to use a Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend HP or HS Disc.

Using a Hook and Loop GP Disc

Hook and loop discs can be mounted to a hook and loop style holder pad that is the same diameter as the disc. The holder pad (available separately) provides convenient attachment to a random orbital sander. Buff and Blend discs are also available with quick change and center hole attachments for use with other tools.

The Many Benefits of Standard Abrasives™ Non-Woven Products

Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend non-woven products offer many benefits. All Buff and Blend products have an open web, which combines abrasive mineral and non-woven nylon fibers with a resin-reinforced bond. The resin bond securely anchors mineral to the fibers, making for a strong, durable abrasive.

Gaps between fibers allow swarf to escape, so the abrasive does not get clogged with debris. Minimizing swarf and debris prolongs abrasive service life and keeps minerals cutting sharper for longer. Nylon fibers won't splinter during grinding, offering a good alternative to steel wool. Moreover, as the fibers break down and fresh mineral is exposed, it reduces the likelihood of the disc smearing the surface. Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products deliver a consistent cut and finish – part after part.
