PRODUCT FAQ
-
What grit level is this product and what kind of surfaces can it handle?
This is a P220 grade sheet, which is a fine-grit abrasive ideal for finish sanding, smoothing, and final surface preparation on wood, metal, and composite materials. It's perfect when you need a refined surface before staining, painting, or polishing.
-
How many sheets will I receive if I order one case?
You'll receive 250 sheets total—that's 5 packs with 50 sheets in each pack. This gives you plenty of material for medium to large projects or regular workshop use.
-
What are the dimensions of each sheet and why does size matter?
Each sheet measures 9 inches by 11 inches, which is the standard size that fits most orbital sanders and sanding blocks. This universal size makes the product versatile and compatible with your existing tools and equipment.
The 3M Gold Abrasive Sheet 216U/255P represents a versatile solution for professional panel shop sanding applications. This product exemplifies 3M's commitment to precision manufacturing, featuring a meticulously applied coating of premium mineral particles bonded with advanced resin systems. The resulting construction delivers extended product longevity and superior cutting performance across a diverse array of substrate materials, encompassing painted surfaces, primer layers, fiberglass composites, metal components, and sheet molding compound (SMC) panels.
Performance CharacteristicsThese abrasive sheets are engineered to produce remarkably uniform and consistent surface finishes throughout the sanding process. The aluminum oxide abrasive grain construction mounted on a lightweight A-weight paper backing makes this product particularly well-suited for hand-applied sanding and finishing operations where operator control and reduced fatigue are important considerations.
Key Features and Benefits- Open coat construction with load-resistant coating technology minimizes particle clogging and extends the effective working life of each sheet
- Reduced loading characteristics help maintain consistent surface quality and finish uniformity
- Open coat design delivers a more aggressive cutting action in comparison to closed coat abrasives of identical grit grades, enabling operators to achieve desired results in shorter timeframes
- Suitable for a wide range of materials including paint, primer, fiberglass, metal, and SMC
