The Scotch-Brite Marine Cleaning Disc was designed for a unique purpose and its name relays its intent: to help operators clean up ship propellers when there's more than just scum to remove.
- The Scotch-Brite™ Marine Cleaning Disc removes marine growth, tubeworms, barnacles, calcium and basal plate build-up from ship propellers
- XCS (extra coarse) silicon carbide mineral cuts sharp to swiftly remove marine growth
- Available in two densities, so operators can choose the right density for their application
- Hook-and-loop attachment expedites fastening of disc to tool
- Open web resists loading, contributing to abrasive service life
- Open web is springy and responsive, so as not to gouge propellers

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the Scotch-Brite™ Marine Cleaning Disc?
The Scotch-Brite™ Marine Cleaning Disc is a high-performance abrasive disc that quickly removes barnacles from boat hulls, as well as rust and paint from metal surfaces.
-
How big are these discs?
These discs come in the size of 9 inches x 5 inches, which makes it easy to cover larger areas more efficiently.
-
Does it require any specific tool or machine to use them on a boat's surface?
These cleaning discs work best with rotary sanders for efficient cleaning. However, they can be used manually too- just take care to always wear gloves while using them.
-
Are these reusable or disposable?
:These discs are designed for single-use only. But don't worry; each case contains two marine-specific abrasives that should handle basic anti-fouling needs plus stripping bottom paint
-
Can you give me an estimate of how long I can expect one disc to last?
A:The longevity depends on numerous factors such as type of coating thickness and aggressiveness needed - individual results may vary but typically we suggest replacing when the edges start significantly smoothening out
The Scotch-Brite™ Marine Cleaning Disc is a nonwoven disc that removes marine growth, tubeworms, barnacles, calcium, and basal plate build-up from ship propellers. It offers a fast and clean method to replace costly, strong chemicals and time-consuming scraping by hand. Propellers are an integral part of boating operations, and keeping them clean is important for optimal boat performance. Propellers contribute to both acceleration and fuel efficiency. When weighted down by growth and debris, they cannot run as smoothly and require more fuel to sustain the same speed. Cleaning propellers helps reduce overall friction and resistance, so they can move more smoothly through the water.
Strong and ResponsiveThe Scotch-Brite™ Marine Cleaning Disc is engineered by combining silicon carbide mineral and nonwoven nylon fibers with resin. The mineral is extra coarse (XCS), meaning it cuts especially sharp compared to finer grades. This mineral is tough enough to remove the growth that resides on propellers. Still, the nonwoven nylon fibers are responsive enough to not gouge the propeller or severely alter its geometry and remove the underlying gelcoat. The disc is available in two densities, so operators can choose the right density for their propeller.
Hook and Loop AttachmentThe disc has a Hook and Loop attachment for easy changeout of discs. It speeds the process by eliminating the need to work with fickle attachment systems. The hook-and-loop backing is designed to be used with hook-and-loop holder pads (sold separately). The hook-and-loop attachment acts like a cushion, providing some extra shock-absorption and buoyancy. When run under normal use, the likelihood of gouging or denting the workpiece is reduced.
The Many Benefits of Open Web AbrasivesNonwoven technology makes Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives unique. A combination of fiber strands, resin, and abrasive mineral forms a thick, open web. The spring-like nature of the fibers responds to contours and effectively removes unwanted burrs, soils, and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity.
Gaps in the web allow swarf to escape, so debris does not clog the mineral. Fibers in the web continually break down with use to reveal fresh mineral for exceptional consistency, superior cut performance, and extremely long service life. From aesthetic finishing to weld blending, deburring, and more, Scotch-Brite abrasives work fast and deliver consistent results, part after part.
