3M Trizact Hookit Film Disc 268XA uses proprietary microreplication technology where micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into tiny pyramids of abrasive mineral and then coated on a film backing. As these pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is continually exposed to produce a consistent cut and a predictable, fine finish.When compared to conventional abrasive products, our 3M Trizact abrasives produce a finer finish, achieve results faster, and last longer. The 3M Trizact Hookit Film Disc 268XA is suitable for use on a variety of solid surfaces, topcoats, and to accommodate most finish and process requirements. It is manufactured with the 3M Hookit attachment system for quick mounting and removal and to hold the disc securely in place during use. Hookit discs conveniently and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on rotary or random orbital tools, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used again and again for the life of the disc. This disc can be run wet or dry.
Unlike conventional abrasives, our 3M Trizact discs start sharp and stay sharp, resulting in more predictable finishes and improved, consistent quality. We made 3M Trizact discs to last longer than conventional discs and provide precise finish control so that operators can reduce grade sequences, requiring fewer process steps and fewer abrasive products. Three-dimensional structures uniformly distributed over the entire surface ensure consistent performance and eliminate disc-to-disc variation.
The 3M Trizact Hookit Film Disc 268XA uses aluminum oxide abrasive mineral. Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
