3M 7000118204 Microfinishing Film Disc 268L 5 Inch 12000 Rpm

Product Description

The 3M 7000118204 is a coated abrasive microfinishing film disc in the 268L series, designed for precision material removal and close-tolerance surface finishing. It features a micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral resin-bonded to a 3 MIL high-strength polyester film backing. The hook and loop attachment system allows fast disc changes and repeated reuse on compatible random orbital and orbital sanders. At a rated speed of 12000 RPM, this 5-inch disc delivers consistent, repeatable finishes suited to defect repair, leveling, paint preparation, and final finishing operations.

This disc is used in applications where uniform, controlled surface finishes are required. Common uses include automotive refinishing, aerospace component preparation, and precision manufacturing where surface profile consistency is critical. The water-resistant polyester film backing supports both wet and dry sanding techniques. It is color-coded for quick grade identification, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between finishing stages. Licensed trade painters, body technicians, and finishing specialists are the typical end users.
