3M 7000028228 Abrasive Disc Roll 5 Inch P180 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000028228 is a coated abrasive disc roll designed for use with 3M Stikita backup pads. Each disc features a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that attaches and removes quickly without tools. The roll format eliminates individual disc liners, keeping the work area cleaner and reducing changeover time. The abrasive mineral is aluminum oxide, a durable grain that cuts fast across a wide range of surfaces. Backing is C-weight paper, which provides extra stiffness and wear resistance compared to lighter A- or B-weight papers. This roll is sized for 5-inch disc applications and carries a P180 grit rating, suited for intermediate sanding and surface finishing. Metalworkers, woodworkers, and finishing technicians are the primary users.

This disc roll is intended for dry, orbital, and random-orbital sanding applications where a 5-inch Stikita-style hook-and-loop or adhesive backup pad is used. P180 grit positions it in the intermediate finishing range, appropriate for smoothing between coats, preparing surfaces for priming, or refining prior scratch patterns from coarser grits. The load-resistant coating helps the disc shed swarf and debris, extending usable life when working on resins, softwoods, or painted surfaces. The roll format is well suited to high-volume production environments where disc changes must be fast.

Key Features

• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows quick attachment and clean removal from Stikita backup pads
• Roll format eliminates individual disc liners and speeds up disc changes
• C-weight paper backing provides added stiffness and durability over lighter-weight backings
• Aluminum oxide mineral delivers fast cut and consistent performance across metal, wood, and painted surfaces
• Load-resistant coating extends abrasive life by reducing premature disc loading
• P180 grit suited for intermediate finishing and surface prep work

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3M Stikita backup pads that accept 5-inch adhesive-backed abrasive discs, sold separately.

Installation Notes

Ensure the backup pad face is clean and free of debris before applying each disc to achieve full adhesive contact. Power down the tool before changing discs. Peel each disc from the roll at the perforation and apply firmly to the backup pad, smoothing from center to edge to prevent air pockets. Discard discs that show signs of torn backing, exposed substrate, or reduced cut rate.
