Spend less time compounding and enjoy less risk of defects by using 3000-grade 3M Trizact Hookit Foam Abrasive Sheets for paint finishing. Used for refining 1500- and 2000-grade sand scratches, they can reduce the need for aggressive wool compounding and cut overall paint finishing time. The patented 3M Trizact abrasives are engineered for consistent cut and long life.
- Reduce the need for aggressive compounding with 3000-grade 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Foam Abrasive Sheets for paint finishing.
- Suitable for both machine and hand applications, these 3000-grade 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Foam Abrasive Sheets help increase shop productivity by eliminating the need for aggressive wool compounding pads and reducing polishing time.
- Compared to traditional buffing, using 3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives for removing sand scratches can reduce the possibility of swirl marks, burn through, and other defects caused by more aggressive processes.
- 3M™ Trizact™ abrasives have unique three-dimensional abrasive structures which are distributed across the abrasive surface. As the structures wear, fresh mineral is exposed, delivering consistent finishes and longer sheet life.
- Used damp, they deliver long life and less loading than dry sanding.
- Foam backing provides plenty of control and consistent contact with the surface – great for preserving orange peel.

-
What sizes are available for the 3M™ Trizact™ Hookit™ Foam Abrasive Sheet 30290?
The standard size for this product is 2-3/4 inches x 5-1/2 inches (70 mm x 140 mm), providing an ideal dimension for various sanding tasks.
-
Are these HookitTM foam abrasive sheets suitable for automotive refinishing applications?
Absolutely! These abrasives are commonly used in automotive refinishing due to their excellent performance in preparing surfaces before painting or clear coating.
During the critical stage before compounding, the 3M Trizact Hookit Foam Abrasive Sheet 443SA is an excellent choice for removing fine grade scratches and swirl marks that are not easily eliminated by buffing. These sheets are backed by sturdy yet flexible foam, providing support, conformability, and consistent contact with the surface. They are designed to effectively remove fine grade sand scratches up to P2500, allowing for the creation of refined finishes with minimal rework associated with dieback and visible scratches on painted surfaces. In certain situations, operators can even skip the compounding step in collision repair, saving both time and material costs. The foam-backed hand sanding sheets feature Trizact abrasives, which are engineered to stay sharper for longer, reducing material costs. Additionally, the Trizact Hookit abrasive sheets utilize the Hookit system for fast and efficient changeouts during the paint finishing process.
For wet or dry sanding to remove P1500-P2500 grade sand scratches, the Trizact Hookit Foam Abrasive Sheet 443SA is the ideal choice. For optimal results, it is recommended to use the sheet with the 3M Hookit Foam Hand Sanding Pad PN 05612.
About 3M Abrasives3M Trizact abrasive sheets are designed to deliver more predictable finishes and improved, consistent quality. These sheets feature microreplication, where small 3-dimensional structures are reproduced and uniformly distributed over the surface of the abrasive. These precise mineral structures contain multiple layers of abrasive mineral, and as the structures wear, fresh and sharp mineral is exposed. This results in faster cutting, precise finish control, and longer-lasting sharpness. In collision repair, operators can even reduce grade sequences, requiring fewer process steps and abrasive products.
About the Hookit Attachment SystemThe Hookit hook-and-loop feature makes sheet attachment, removal, and re-attachment clean and easy, facilitating the use and re-use of the sheets throughout their abrasive life. Hookit hand sanding pads have J-shaped hooks that are commonly used in everyday hook-and-loop applications. These hooks instantly grip the brushed nylon loops on 3M Hookit abrasives, allowing for quick and hassle-free sheet attachment. The sheets can be removed just as cleanly and easily, and can be re-used multiple times throughout their abrasive life. The Hookit system is specifically designed for workspaces where adhesive-backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt, or flying debris.
The Science of Better Sanding from 3M3M incorporates the latest science into each step of achieving precision finishes in collision repair, and the 3M Trizact Hookit Foam Abrasive Sheet 443SA is a prime example. From its foam backing to its time-saving hook-and-loop attachment and microreplicated abrasive, this sheet is ideal for removing fine grade scratches by hand before compounding. It ensures a clean and scratch-free surface in less time.
