Green Corps 1556Click To Copy 0 255U Series Abrasive Disc, 8 in Dia, 60 Grit, PSA, Green

3M™ Stikit™ Green Corps™ abrasive disc 255U strips paint from metal as well as shapes and sands plastic filler. Green Corps™ abrasives are built on E-weight backing to make them extremely durable for sanding paint, metal or fiberglass. Abrasive disc features an anti-loading stearate coating. Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers a fast cut and long life. 3M™ Stikit™ Green Corps™ abrasive disc 255U excels at feather edging, filler shaping, paint removal and rough feather edging on automotive bodies. Green Corps™ products are made with a blend of abrasives including 3M™ high performance ceramic abrasive grain which provides increased abrasive life and a faster cut rate. Use these discs on the following surfaces: clear coats, fiberglass, filler, metal, paint and plastic. Open coat construction reduces loading on fresh filler. Our 3M™ Stikit™ Green Corps™ abrasive discs are available in no hole and dust-free configurations. Use these discs for dry sanding applications.
3M Green Corps Stikit coated 255U PSA disc uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive material and has a diameter of 8 in. 3M incorporates this aluminum oxide material into the PSA disc forming a grit of 60. This abrasive is on a paper backing, E weight.

Abrasive Material:
Values: A/O Aluminum Oxide AO A/Z Alumina Zirconia AZ S/C Silicon Carbide SC Alumina Zirconia Alumina zirconia is very dense and can be used under high temperatures for heavy-duty stock removal, wood planing, and grinding of fiberglass and plastics. The abrasive grain is designed to fracture during use so that it maintains sharpness. Aluminum Oxide Aluminum oxide is an artificial abrasive suited for general purpose stock removal and finishing. It is the mostly commonly used abrasive and can be used for most steels and ferrous alloys. Aluminum oxide is slightly softer but tougher than silicon carbide. Ceramic Ceramic is used for aggressive cutting and grinding of stainless steel, titanium, and metal alloys. The abrasive grain is designed to fracture during use so that it maintains sharpness. Ceramic Aluminum Oxide Cerium Oxide Diamond Diamond can be either natural or manufactured and is one of the hardest abrasive materials. It is commonly used for grinding and polishing stone and very hard steels, and for sharpening other cutting tools. Mesh Silicon Carbide Silicon carbide is a manufactured material that is extremely hard but brittle. It is commonly used for fast cutting under light pressure, particularly on cast iron, nonferrous metals, and materials such as glass and plastic. Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain Zirconia
Grit:
Grit is a measurement of the size of abrasive particles embedded in coated abrasives. The most common standards for grit size are the United States CAMI (Coated Abrasive Manufacturers Institute) and the European FEPA (Federation of European Producers of Abrasives). A smaller grit number means larger particles and a coarser grade, while high number grits are used for finer work. Grit is generally a unitless measure but is sometimes measured in microns.
Backing Weight:
Paper and cloth have a lettering scale for backing weight that measures strength of the material onto which the abrasive is mounted. Paper uses the letters A-F, where A is a lighter weight and most flexible and F represents a rigid, heavier backing. Lighter backings are typically paired with finer abrasive grits, suitable for blending and finishing. Coarser grits used for deburring and stock removal rely on a heavier backing. Cloth uses a lettering system of J, X, and Y for backing weight. J weight (jeans) is the lightest and most flexible, X weight (drills) is more durable and recommended for medium duty work, and Y weight is the toughest and least flexible. Fiber backings are made from chemically-impregnated paper to form a very hard, strong backing material. Fiber is used primarily for sanding discs. Polyester film backing provides high strength with a very thin backing and is used for very fine grits. It is more tear resistant than paper backing and is also waterproof.
