The Wetordry™ Advantage

3M™ Wetordry™ products are designed to support both wet and dry applications with their waterproof backing. The backing is lighter than cloth and has a smooth texture, making it ideal for lighter applications such as finishing and paint prep. However, these applications often produce a lot of dust, which can clog the abrasive points and create an inferior work environment. To minimize these effects, sanding with water can be used to rinse dust away from the workpiece and the abrasive surface.

3M™ Wetordry™ Cloth Sheet 281W is a product that can be used with water to rinse areas of the workpiece during finishing. It prevents dust and debris from clogging the abrasive, while allowing for a consistent, fast cut. This product is ideal for e-coat primer and wood and can also be used dry for finishing metal and gel coats. In the marine industry, it can be used for sanding old finishes, fine feather edging, and surface work. Additionally, this product comes in a number of grades – P500, P600, P800, and P1000 – so users can find the abrasive that best fits the needs of the job.

The Benefits of Aluminum Oxide

The mineral used in an abrasive is crucial to its sharpness, consistency, and longevity. The 3M™ Wetordry™ Cloth Sheet 281W uses aluminum oxide mineral, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral creates a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural minerals dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used in sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.

The Benefits of a Cloth-Backing

3M™ Wetordry™ products feature a proprietary waterproof cloth backing that supports both wet and dry applications. Cloth-backed sheets are known for their durability and flexibility, making them a good first choice when working with metal. The cloth backing provides durability for either hand or machine sanding, adding to this product's versatility across a number of applications.
