3M 7100176153 Scotch-brite 4 Inch Silicon Carbide Abrasive Disc

Product Description

The 3M 7100176153 is a Scotch-Brite XO-DC non-woven abrasive disc designed for aggressive surface preparation on metal and other substrates. Built with silicon carbide mineral bonded into an open nylon web, this 4-inch disc cuts through rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without significantly altering the underlying base material. High-strength fibers deliver consistent performance along edges and contours. The open web construction resists loading, keeping cutting action uniform throughout the disc life. It is intended for use by metalworkers, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals performing surface prep before coating, welding, or bonding.

This disc suits a wide range of surface preparation applications including rust removal, paint stripping, scale removal, and adhesive cleanup on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 4-inch diameter fits standard angle grinders and disc tools commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments. Its high conformability allows the disc to maintain a larger contact patch on irregular or curved surfaces, improving removal rates and reducing operator effort on complex workpieces.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide mineral provides aggressive cutting action with a fine finish result
• Open nylon web construction resists loading for consistent, repeatable cutting
• High-strength fibers resist chunking and perform well on workpiece edges
• High conformability increases contact patch on curved or irregular surfaces
• High speed rating with low vibration and low spark generation
• Removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without significantly altering base material

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit non-woven abrasive disc for standard 4-inch angle grinders and disc tools used in metal surface preparation applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove abrasive discs only with the tool powered off and disconnected from its power source. Verify the tool's maximum RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc speed rating before use. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating abrasive disc tools. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA abrasive tool safety guidelines during mounting and operation.
