PRODUCT FAQ
-
What are the dimensions of the 3M™ Microfinishing Film Sheet 468L?
The dimensions of this product are 17.75 in x 52 in.
-
Can you tell me what "80 Mic, TE" means regarding this product?
Yes! This is an abbreviation for the abrasive grain size and it indicates that the particle size of abrasive material on these sheets is a very fine but aggressive grit - specifically with an average particle size of about 80 microns (or .003 inches).
-
Do these film sheets come with any backing or support?
No, this particular variety doesn't include any sort of backing, hence why they may be referred to as "unbacksized".
-
How many individual sheets come per case when ordering from your company?
You will receive a total of thirty individual sheets packed inside each case purchased!
-
Is there anything else I should know before purchasing or using this product?
It's always a good idea to ensure your work environment remains static-free when using our microfinishing films to help reduce unnecessary build-up and potential contamination.
This sheet is designed with an open coat surface to increase efficiency and product life by minimizing loading. The abrasive is resin-bonded and supports disc flexibility without sacrificing durability and reliable performance under high heat and pressure. The polyester film backing flexes to help achieve a consistent finish over contours and offers greater tear-resistance than comparable paper products, making it ideal for high-production environments. This sheet is compatible with a variety of tools including orbital and random orbital platen sanders. It comes in a range of micron grades for complete multi-step sanding and finishing.
Silicon Carbide AbrasiveThe 3M™ Microfinishing Film Sheet 468L features precision, micron-graded silicon carbide, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and smooth finish. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep. It produces a brighter finish and breaks down faster than aluminum oxide.
Open Coat ConstructionSanding sheets cut better and last longer when dust isn't clogging the cutting surface of the abrasives. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains are placed with space between them to help evacuate sawdust and other sanding debris and avoid clogging the cutting edge of the grains. This also allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the disc and hinder sanding ability. The open coat feature provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade. All of this adds up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption.
Easy AttachmentThe 3M™ Microfinishing Film Sheet can be cut to fit various power tools and pads. This sheet is also available with a range of attachment options, including PSA, hook-and-loop and plain backing. The pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) provides easy attachment, holds the sheet securely in place during use, and removes cleanly from the sander. Hook-and-loop backing allows for quick and easy removal without interference from floating debris or dust, while plain backing can be used by hand or attached to various machines and hand tools.
