3M Hookit Paper Roll 236U is a general-purpose abrasive used to make sanding discs. It features a tough, C-weight paper and hook-and-loop backing for convenient attachment and removal. The aluminum oxide abrasive and load resistant open coat construction also help make this an ideal product for applications like paint prep, white wood sanding, sealer sanding and solid surface finishing.Flexible Sanding Solution
3M Hookit Paper Roll 236U is best suited for sanding and finishing thanks to its flexibility and fast-cutting abrasive material. Its tough, C-weight paper backing provides smooth operation even in small contours and can be easily cut and folded to fit any workpiece or hand tool. The abrasive side features an open coat for additional load resistance and a distinct color helps to easily differentiate it from other grits and grains.
The Hookit Advantage
3M Hookit Paper Roll 236U is designed to handle a wide range of sanding and finishing needs in work spaces where adhesive-backed abrasives may become contaminated by dust, dirt or flying debris. Thanks to the hook-and-loop attachment system this product attaches to your tools even in dusty conditions, and can be removed cleanly and easily. This allows these sheets to be re-used again and again for the extent of the abrasive life. When paired with a 3M Hookit backup pad this roll provides both optimal performance and convenience.
Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
This roll uses aluminum oxide, which 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. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used for sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for use on a wide variety of materials in woodworking.
Designed to Resist Loading
Sanding paper and discs cut better and last longer when dust isn’t clogging the cutting surface of the abrasives. This roll features an open coat construction, which means the abrasive grains are placed with space between them to help evacuate dust and other sanding debris and avoid clogging the cutting edge of the grains. This allows the sheet to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would otherwise clog the grain and hinder sanding ability. Additionally, the open coat feature provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade. All of this can add up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption.
