3M 7100131823 Scotch-brite Belt 72x1 Inch Non-woven Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100131823 is a Scotch-Brite surface conditioning film-backed belt designed for cleaning, finishing, blending, and deburring metal and other surfaces. Built on a stretch-resistant nylon film backing, this non-woven belt measures 72 inches in length and 1 inch in width. The aluminum oxide mineral and resin bond deliver consistent, repeatable cutting action across a range of surface prep tasks. The smooth film backing reduces friction on the back side, making it well suited for stroke sanders and platen-based grinding setups. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians working in industrial or shop environments are the primary installers and users of this belt.

This belt is used in surface conditioning applications where consistent finish quality and controlled material removal matter. It performs in cleaning mill scale, blending welds, removing burrs, and finishing stainless, carbon steel, aluminum, and similar substrates. The open non-woven construction allows swarf and debris to escape, reducing loading and extending belt life. Its stretch-resistant nylon film backing maintains dimensional stability under tension, making it effective on both manual and automated stroke sanding equipment where belt-back friction must be minimized.

Key Features

• Non-woven nylon construction with stretch-resistant film backing resists elongation under load
• Aluminum oxide mineral with resin bond provides consistent, repeatable cutting action
• Open fiber structure allows debris to escape, reducing loading and extending service life
• Smooth film back reduces friction on platen and stroke sander applications
• Fibers break down gradually to expose fresh mineral, maintaining a consistent cut throughout belt life
• Suitable for cleaning, finishing, blending, and deburring across multiple substrate types

Compatibility

Designed for use on stroke sanders, platen grinders, and similar belt-driven surface conditioning equipment where a 72 inch by 1 inch non-woven belt is specified.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the sander or grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or delamination prior to each use and replace if damage is found.
