3M 7100173796 Scotch-brite Roloc 4 Inch Clean Strip Disc Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100173796 is a Scotch-Brite Roloc Clean and Strip XT Pro Extra Cut Disc built for aggressive surface preparation on metal. It combines aluminum oxide abrasive mineral with an open nylon web construction to deliver fast, consistent cutting action across a range of removal tasks. At 4 inches in diameter, the disc is sized for use with angle grinders and straight grinders fitted with a compatible Roloc backup pad. The high-strength, conformable fibers resist chunking and loading, maintaining cutting performance through the full life of the disc. This product is used by metalworkers, welders, pipefitters, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need to strip surfaces quickly without switching tools repeatedly.

This disc is suited for heavy surface prep work on steel and other metals in industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include removing thick paint, heavy rust, corrosion, and weld scale, as well as cleaning bare metal prior to coating or welding. The open web construction and non-loading design make it effective on flat surfaces, contoured workpieces, and edges alike. The Roloc attachment system allows fast disc swaps, reducing downtime during production or field repair work.
