The Scotch-Brite™ 7447 are general purpose hand pads that combine flexibility with an effective cutting action with precise hand control. The 7447 handpads use aluminum oxide which cuts fast and fine, leaving a smooth finish on the surface.

These Scotch-Brite™ Multiflex sheets are a great replacement for steel wool, whilst eliminating contaminants. Unlike steel wool, it won't disintegrate, rust after use or create fine metal splinters.

• Get a superior alternative to steel wool, wire brushes, sandpaper, and other nonwoven products for cleaning or finishing tasks

• Features fine grade aluminium oxide abrasive for cleaning, finishing, graining and denibbing

• Suitable for use on wood, metal, plastics, ceramics, porcelain, glass, rubber, or composites

• Reusable pad resists tearing, splintering, shredding, loading and will never rust, providing a long, useful life

• Can be folded, stacked, or rolled for effective cleaning or conditioning on flat, irregular, or contoured surfaces

These abrasive hand pads are suitable for use on a range of materials such as wood, metal, plastics, ceramics, porcelain, glass, rubber or composites. They are used in a variety of industries and for domestic and hobby purposes. They are particularly useful in home decorating for surface preparation before painting, or for the removal of old gloss or matt paint on surfaces such as doors frames or banisters. These general-purpose non-woven hand pads can typically be used as an alternative to typical sandpaper in sanding and polishing applications.

Non-Woven Abrasives have abrasive grains bonded to flexible nylon fibres, which provide a controlled consistent finish. The open web construction provides and maintains a consistent cutting rate.

3M is a leading innovator of abrasive technologies, constantly evolving to provide ideal solutions to industrial and commercial applications. With 3M you can be assured of a wide selection of quality products.

Use this sanding pad from 3M to scuff, clean and blend surfaces effectively. Its nylon fibres are tear-resistant and non-corroding for long-lasting use. Attached to these fibres is aluminium oxide, which works through most common materials, including glass and metal. Each box contains 20 sheets to keep you stocked for small and large projects.

• Large 158 (W) x 224mm (L) size is comfortable to hold for hand-sanding projects
• Can be rinsed and reused on multiple projects
• Sheets can easily be cut or folded to achieve the shape you need

• Manufacturing facilities
• Construction industry
• Home improvement

Scuffing surfaces is an effective way to increase the bond strength of tape or glue. That's because adhesives work by sticking to microscopic abrasions on the material.
