Hook & Loop Discs

Hook & loop discs are removable abrasive discs used with compatible hook-and-loop backing surfaces for sanding and surface-conditioning work. Commercial users rely on them to finish painted and primed surfaces, refine wood and metal, prepare auto body and marine work, and clean, blend, or lightly deburr shop and maintenance surfaces.

Use Cases

Match the disc to the work

Use sanding discs to remove material and refine painted, primed, wood, metal, or marine surfaces. Choose surface-conditioning discs for cleaning, blending, finishing, and light deburring.

How to Choose

Start with size and grit

Select the diameter that fits the sanding application, then compare grit and disc construction. Available sizes include 3 inch, 4-1/2 inch, and 5 inch, with options ranging from 80 grit through P3000 and medium-grit conditioning formats.

Applications

Support dry or wet processes

Several flexible film sanding discs can be used dry or with water mist, while certain 3-inch discs also support water flood. Surface-conditioning discs use conformable open-web or non-woven constructions for irregular and contoured areas.

Additional Info

Plan for disc changes

Hook-and-loop attachment allows convenient removal and replacement on compatible backing surfaces. Many sanding and conditioning options are supplied in quantities of 50 discs for ongoing work.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Select by task

Choose sanding discs for refinement or conditioning discs for surface preparation

Sanding discs are represented in 80, 120, 150, and 180 grit, plus P1500, P2000, P2500, and P3000 options. Lower listed grit options support material removal and finishing work, while the P1500 through P3000 discs are intended to refine surfaces and help minimize deep scratches. Surface-conditioning discs are medium-grit or aluminum oxide options for cleaning, finishing, blending, and light deburring.

  • Use 80-grit and 180-grit 5-inch discs for dry sanding on painted and primed surfaces.
  • Use P1500, P2000, P2500, or P3000 3-inch discs when a smooth, refined finish is important.
  • Use medium-grit surface-conditioning discs for general cleaning, blending, deburring, and finishing.
Confirm fit and construction

Compare diameter, backing, and surface conformity

Choose a 3-inch, 4-1/2-inch, or 5-inch disc to match the application and compatible hook-and-loop backing surface. Flexible film-backed sanding discs follow contours and help resist tearing and edge wear. Conformable conditioning discs use open-web or non-woven fiber construction to work across irregular or contoured surfaces.

  • 3-inch options include film-backed sanding discs in several fine and general sanding grits.
  • 5-inch options include sanding discs and surface-conditioning discs.
  • 4-1/2-inch conditioning discs use non-woven fiber construction for irregular and contoured work surfaces.
Plan the sanding method

Consider loading resistance and wet or dry use

For dry sanding, open-coat and stearated surfaces help reduce loading, while non-loading and open-web designs help resist clogging. Select waterproof or wet/dry disc options when using a water mist is preferred; certain 3-inch sanding discs can also be used with water flood.

  • Open-web conditioning discs help run cool during extended operation.
  • Waterproof P1500, P2000, P2500, and P3000 discs can be used dry or with a water mist.
  • 120-grit and 150-grit 3-inch discs support dry use, water mist, or water flood.
