Why this disc
Key benefits
Anti-Load Surface Shield
Resists the clogging that kills lesser abrasives on gelcoat, filler, and primer — stay in the cut longer and change discs less often.
RigidCore backing
Keeps the disc flat and stable under pressure for consistent contact. No chatter. No uneven cut. Repeatable performance on flat panels or compound curves.
Resin-over-resin, dry optimized
Heat-resistant resin-over-resin bonding locks grain under the heat and pressure of aggressive dry sanding. No water or lubricant required.
