3M 7100160831 Sanding Screen 150 Grit 18 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100160831 is a 150-grit sanding screen designed for floor sanding and surface preparation on a range of hard materials. Built on an open-mesh screen backing with a resin and silicon carbide abrasive blend, it cuts aggressively while allowing dust to pass through and reducing clogging. At 18 inches in diameter, it mounts directly to standard rotary floor machines and buffers. The fine-grade grit is suited for smoothing and finishing passes rather than heavy stock removal. Flooring contractors, restoration crews, and facility maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This sanding screen is used on concrete, marble, stone, urethane-finished floors, and bare or coated wood surfaces. It is a common choice for final preparation passes before applying a finish coat or sealer on gymnasium floors, commercial hardwood floors, and polished stone surfaces. The open-screen construction makes it well suited to dusty environments where clogging would otherwise reduce productivity. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 18-inch floor buffer and rotary machine pads.

Installation Notes

Flooring contractors and maintenance technicians install this screen onto a compatible drive pad mounted to a rotary floor machine. Ensure the machine is unplugged and the drive pad is secure before attaching the screen. Inspect the screen for tears or excessive wear before each use and replace when abrasive is depleted. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection and eye protection when dry sanding.
