100mm,115mm & 125mm Blue (Long Life) Clean & Strip Discs
Silicon carbide impregnated nylon Clean & Strip Discs for removing rust, paint, and corrosion from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, fibreglass, brick, and stone.
Silicon carbide and non-woven nylon fibres are bonded together using resin to create these versatile discs. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as preparation prior to painting and general surface cleaning.
While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminium oxide, it produces a superior finish with a sharp, consistent cut without gouging or damaging the surface of the workpiece. As the disc wears, the resin bond breaks down gradually, revealing new fibres and sharp abrasive, giving a consistent cut over the life of the disc.
Additionally, the open weave of the nylon fibres permits air flow and prevents clogging. The sharp-cutting nature of silicon carbide in conjunction with the open web make these 100mm, 115mm and 125mm discs well suited for removing surface coatings, sealants, rust removal, weld cleaning, and paint removal.
