3M 7100160842 Sanding Screen 80 Grit 16 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100160842 is a 16-inch diameter sanding screen designed for surface preparation and finishing work on hard flooring and masonry surfaces. Built with a silicone carbide abrasive bonded in resin, this medium-grit, 80-grit screen delivers consistent stock removal and scratch patterns on demanding substrates. Its open-mesh construction helps reduce loading and allows dust to pass through during operation. Floor finishing contractors and surface prep technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This sanding screen is suited for use on concrete, marble, stone, wood, and urethane-finished floors. It is used in drum sander and floor buffer applications where a medium cut is required — typically during the intermediate sanding stages of a floor refinishing job or during surface prep before applying a finish coat. The brown pad color makes it easy to identify grit level on the job site.
