3M™ Trizact™ PSA Film Disc 268XA, 3 in x 1/2 in, A10, 50/Bag, 250 ea/Case, Die 300DN

3M Trizact PSA Film Disc 268XA is a high-quality abrasive disc that is designed for a variety of applications. It features a polyester backing, which makes it water-resistant and suitable for both wet and dry sanding. This disc is commonly used for damp sanding on different substrates, including acrylic products, solid surface materials, and glass. By using a lubricant like water, the disc can run cool and effectively wash away debris that could potentially damage the substrate. The 3M Trizact PSA Film Disc 268XA is typically used in the middle of a sanding sequence to bring the workpiece closer to the desired matte, semi-gloss, or high gloss finish. Although it can be used damp, the disc requires minimal water for optimal results.

One of the key features of the 3M Trizact PSA Film Disc 268XA is its use of 3M microreplication technology. This technology creates a surface with patterned, microscopic, three-dimensional structures that resemble pyramids. Unlike conventionally coated abrasives that have irregularly spaced mineral particles, Trizact abrasives focus on uniformity. As the pyramids wear down, fresh and sharp mineral particles are exposed, ensuring a consistent cut and a predictable, fine finish. This results in fewer scraps and discards due to inconsistent results. The ongoing sharp cutting action of the disc also reduces the need for other abrasives in the sanding sequence, streamlining the process and increasing productivity.

The 3M Trizact PSA Film Disc 268XA features a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) on the back, which makes it easy to attach the disc to a tool. Simply press the disc onto a disc pad, and it will securely adhere. When it's time to remove the disc, it can be peeled off the disc pad effortlessly, leaving a clean surface for the next disc. For added convenience, the disc is available in rolls, allowing for quick and easy tearing off of individual discs without the need to remove individual disc liners. The PSA discs are designed to be used with a PSA or 3M Stikit backup pad (sold separately) that can be attached to a random orbital sander.

The 3M Trizact PSA Film Disc 268XA is available in a range of grades, from A5 to A35, allowing operators to choose the right grade for their specific application. The lower the A-grade, the finer the grade, so operators can select a smaller grade like A5 for a fine finish or a larger grade like A35 for a coarser finish. To make grade selection easier, the discs are color-coded, reducing the risk of mistakenly using the wrong grade in a sanding sequence.

Regardless of the grade selected, operators can rely on the exceptional performance of the 3M Trizact PSA Film Disc 268XA. It provides fast cutting action and consistent finishes, ensuring high-quality results for every part.
