3M 7000118291 Sanding Sheet 500 Grit Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118291 is a silicon carbide sanding sheet designed for fine finishing work on a wide range of surfaces. Rated at 500 grit in the Super Fine grade range, this sheet delivers consistent scratch patterns and smooth material removal on metals, paints, primers, lacquers, and wood composites. It features an A-weight paper backing, which provides flexibility for hand sanding and light machine sanding applications. The waterproof construction makes it suitable for both wet and dry sanding operations, helping to extend abrasive life and reduce loading during use. Each sheet is part of the 3M 413Q series.

This sanding sheet is commonly used in metalworking, auto body preparation, woodworking finish work, and surface conditioning tasks where a fine, consistent finish is required. The wet or dry capability makes it well suited for applications where water or lubricant is used to carry away swarf and keep the surface cool. Trades that commonly use this product include auto body technicians, metal fabricators, finish carpenters, and general industrial operators working on final-pass surface preparation.
