7447 Scotch-Brite 6″ × 9″ General Purpose Maroon Hand Pads are a superior alternative to steel wool, wire brushes, sandpaper, and other non-woven products for cleaning or finishing tasks. Scotch-Brite pads won't shred during use, rust after use, or create fine metal splinters. The non-woven, open-web aluminum oxide material resists loading and can be used dry, with water or solvents, and rinsed clean for reuse. This multi purpose 6 × 9″ (15 × 23 cm) abrasive pad can be used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to cover large areas. 3M Scotch-Brite 7447 Hand Pads combine flexibility with effective cutting action and precise hand control to help you accomplish tough cleaning jobs or produce fine finishing results, use after use. The tightly graded abrasive particles in this new pad provide a consistent, uniform scratch throughout life of the hand pad. This maroon hand pad uses aluminum oxide abrasive. 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. 3M Scotch-Brite industrial abrasive products are a unique surface conditioning product with abrasives incorporated into non-woven nylon or other synthetic fibers. Combining abrasives into the fibers creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. The open-web material is load resistant and keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers. Scotch-Brite abrasive products cut faster and produce a more consistent scratch than competitive non-woven abrasive products, reducing the time and effort it takes to finish parts. This versatile hand pad is ideal for finishing metal, and is suitable for use on a wide variety of materials including wood, plastics, ceramics, porcelain, glass, rubber, and composites.
