Scotch-Brite 7447 Pro Hand Pad combines 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. The very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasives cut fast and fine, leaving a smooth, finished surface. Suitable for use on a wide variety of materials such as wood, metal, plastics, ceramics, porcelain, glass, rubber, or composites, and for many different tasks, the performance of this hand pad is comparable to steel wool grade 0. However, unlike steel wool, Scotch-Brite 7447 Pro Hand Pads won't rust after use or create fine metal splinters. The nonwoven, open-web material resists loading and can be used dry, with water, or some solvents. You can use this multipurpose 6 x 9 inch hand pad by hand for precise control, with a hand pad block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to cover large areas. Recommended applications include scuffing, cleaning, blending and surface preparation.
