3M 7100023340 Hand Sanding Pad 6x9 in Silicon Carbide 20pk

Product Description

The 3M 7100023340 is a non-woven hand sanding pad designed for surface preparation, finishing, and light material removal by hand. Measuring 6 x 9 inches in a rectangular profile, it uses silicon carbide abrasive in a super fine grade, making it well-suited for final-pass scuff sanding, surface conditioning, and finish blending on metal, wood, or composite substrates. The non-woven construction allows the pad to conform to irregular surfaces and resist loading, extending usable life compared to sheet abrasives. Each package contains 20 pads. Trades professionals and industrial maintenance crews keep these on hand for prep work between coats or before inspection.

This pad is used in light industrial, mechanical, and facilities maintenance applications where hand-applied surface conditioning is required. Common scenarios include scuff sanding painted or coated surfaces before rework, deburring machined parts by hand, and surface prep on pipe fittings or metal panels prior to coating or bonding. The super fine silicon carbide grade makes it appropriate for final finishing stages rather than aggressive stock removal. At 6 x 9 inches, the pad fits comfortably in one hand without a backing block, though it can be used with one when a flatter contact surface is needed.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive for consistent cutting on metal, wood, and composite surfaces
• Super fine grade suited for final-pass finishing and surface conditioning
• Non-woven construction conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces
• 6 x 9 inch rectangular shape for comfortable single-hand use
• Gray color consistent with super fine non-woven abrasive classification
• Package of 20 pads supports ongoing shop or field use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand sanding pad for use on metal, wood, painted surfaces, and composites where super fine abrasive conditioning is required by hand application.

Installation Notes

No tools are required for use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection when sanding or abrading surfaces. Ensure the workpiece is secured and, where applicable, power to any associated equipment is locked out before performing surface prep work. Replace pads when abrasive loading or wear reduces cutting effectiveness.
