Remarks

Scotch-Brite Ultra Fine Hand Pad 7448 combines durability for long life, flexibility for reaching tight areas, and can be used in place of steel wool for conditioning metal surfaces and paint prep. Unlike fine steel wool, Scotch-Brite pads will not shred during use, rust after use, or leave fine metal splinters. The durable open-web construction of Scotch-Brite Ultra Fine Hand Pad is load resistant, offers long life and consistent abrasive action for cleaning, finishing, and buffing with no need to adjust, turnover, or continue the same project with a new pad. The pad gets into corners and works detailed surfaces without altering the dimensions of the base material. Designed to run cleaner and longer than steel wool, this versatile pad is a useful item for any workshop. The Scotch-Brite Ultra Fine Hand Pad can be used right out of the box by hand, paired with a hand pad block, or run on an in-line sander for faster completion on larger areas. This grey pad is filled with silicon carbide abrasive mineral, a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep. While it breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish. Scotch-Brite abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven fiber matrix. Combining abrasives and non-woven material creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. The open-web material runs cool and is load resistant, which keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.
Features:

Ultra fine finishing action outperforms steel wool for cleaning, blending, prepping and finishing on metal, wood, plastics and composites.
Performs like steel wool grade 00 without shredding, rusting, or splintering.
Pad conforms to irregular surfaces and gets into corners without losing performance.
Cleans metal, composites, and other materials without altering the base material.
Load and heat resistant non-woven web provides consistent finishing over the life of the pad.

Benefits:

Scotch Brite 7448 Hand Pads are compareable to steel wool grade 1
Unlike steel wool, 3M 7448 Scotch Brite Hand Pads will not shread during use, rust after use, or create fine material splinters
Open-web design which helps prevent loading, which in turn enables the 3M hand pads to be rinsed and reused after wet or dry operations
The size of the pad is 6″x9″ which allows for excellent control when performing hand-operated finishing tasks, and ultimately allowing you to easily reach the corners of your workpieces with ease.
7448 Hand Pads contain silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive material and because of this they do not rust or leave metal splinters behind
Scotch-Brite hand pads are known for their versatility and they do not get worn off too soon

3M Hand Pads Design: with non-woven, open-web design which resists loading and can be used dry, with water or solvents, and rinsed clean after for reuse.
This is a MULTI purpuse hand pad - it can be used:

By hand - for very precise hand control
With a hand block - for uniform finishing
With an in-line sander - to cover larger areas

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive: The 3M Scotch Brite 7448 hand pad uses aluminum oxide abrasive because of its cut-rate and long life. Aluminum oxide is a tough mineral known for its durable abrasive quality that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use! Whereas traditional abrasives used (such as garnet) quickly wear down with use. The use of aluminum oxide mineral allows for this hand pad to be used in grinding applications, as well as sanding and finishing use, this is becuase of its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention. Also allowing this hand pad to be used on a wide variety of substances in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys!
Benefits of Open-Web Abrasive Design: The open-web material used is load resistant and keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers. Combination of abrasives into the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the hand pad. Scotch Brite and other similar products in the 3M line up are a uniquely made surface conditioning product with abrasives incorporated into non-woven nylon or other synthetic fibers.
