3M 7100173799 Scotch-brite 4 Inch Clean Strip Disc

Product Description

The 3M 7100173799 is a Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc designed to remove rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives from metal and other surfaces without significantly altering the base material. It incorporates silicon carbide abrasive mineral into an open nylon web construction that cuts aggressively while leaving a fine surface finish. The high-strength fibers are highly conformable, resist chunking and loading, and maintain consistent cutting action throughout the life of the disc. Licensed tradespeople in metal fabrication, welding prep, and industrial maintenance rely on this disc for fast, controlled surface preparation.

This disc is suited for surface preparation tasks on metal substrates in both shop and field environments. Typical applications include removing corrosion, stripping paint or coatings before welding or refinishing, and cleaning mill scale from structural steel. Its high conformability creates a larger contact patch against the workpiece, which improves removal rates on flat surfaces and along edges. The low-spark characteristic makes it appropriate for use in environments where spark generation is a concern.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive mineral cuts aggressively and produces a fine finish
• Open nylon web construction resists loading for consistent cutting action
• High-strength fibers resist chunking and perform reliably on workpiece edges
• High conformability increases contact patch area for faster material removal
• High speed rating with low vibration and low spark output
• Removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without significant base material alteration

Compatibility

Designed for use with right-angle grinders and disc holders that accept 4-inch non-woven abrasive discs in standard surface preparation and coating removal applications.

Installation Notes

This disc is installed and operated by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using a compatible right-angle grinder or disc holder. Ensure the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc speed rating before mounting. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and never exceed the rated maximum speed. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
