3M 7100160238 Sanding Screen 180 Grit 18 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100160238 is an 18-inch diameter sanding screen rated at 180 grit for fine-grade surface preparation and finishing work. Constructed with a silicone carbide abrasive bonded in resin, this screen delivers consistent cut on hard, dense surfaces. Its open mesh design allows dust and debris to pass through during use, reducing loading and extending screen life. Floor finishing contractors and surface prep crews use it in rotary floor machines for final smoothing passes before coating or sealing. The brown color indicates the fine 180-grit classification within the product line.

This sanding screen is suited for use on concrete, marble, stone, wood, and urethane-finished floors. It is most commonly applied during the final stages of floor preparation, where the goal is to refine the surface and remove minor scratches or scuff marks left by coarser grits. The 18-inch diameter fits standard floor buffer and rotary sanding machines used in commercial and residential floor finishing applications. It is sold individually as a single-unit package.

Inspect the screen before each use and replace it when abrasive wear reduces cutting effectiveness.
