3M 7100166627 Sanding Screen 100 Grit 16 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100166627 is a 100-grit sanding screen designed for floor preparation and surface finishing work. Constructed with a resin and silicon carbide abrasive matrix open-mesh screen, it cuts efficiently while resisting loading and clogging during aggressive material removal passes. At 16 inches in diameter, it mounts directly to standard floor machine pads used by flooring contractors, restoration crews, and facility maintenance professionals. The medium-grit rating makes it well suited for smoothing, scuffing, and light material removal without cutting too aggressively into finished surfaces.

This sanding screen is used in commercial and residential flooring applications where a rotating floor buffer or low-speed floor machine is the primary tool. It handles concrete, marble, stone, urethane finish, and wood substrates. Typical use cases include intercoat scuffing between finish coats on hardwood floors, preparation of concrete slabs before sealing, and surface conditioning on stone or marble. Flooring mechanics, floor care technicians, and restoration pros are the primary installers and users of this product.

Installation Notes

This screen is installed by flooring technicians and floor care professionals using a low-speed rotary floor machine. Secure the sanding screen flat against a drive pad before operation and confirm the pad driver is properly centered before starting the machine. Ensure the work area is clear of loose debris before running the screen. Inspect the screen periodically during use and replace when abrasive surface shows visible wear or loading.
