Conveniently packaged for portability, our multi-purpose standard Abrasives™ aluminum oxide handy roll has a flexible yet durable cloth backing suitable for hand sanding on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood and plastic. Users can easily tear-off a strip of desired length for maintenance applications such as cleaning, finishing and paint prep. Standard Abrasives™ aluminum oxide handy roll has a flexible, J-weight cloth backing for conformability to circular edges, angles or other contours. A cloth backing offers the durability needed to bend, fold or roll the strip without it tearing or shelling, providing a convenient solution for hand sanding hard to reach surfaces. Common applications include deburring, blending and repairing metal finishes, rust or other contaminant removal and preparing surfaces for paints and coatings. A necessity in machine and maintenance shops, strips from the roll can be used on a turning part or on a split mandrel as well as by hand. The full resin bond lends added durability to support a wide range of applications and extends the life of the abrasive. Aluminum oxide (AO) is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. AO is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking including ferrous alloys. The standard Abrasives™ brand has supplied quality abrasives to the metalworking industry for over 50 years. Customers rely on our broad offering of high performance products including coated, bonded and non-woven abrasive lines.
