3M 7100185275 Uncoated Cloth Belt 48x1 Inch Non-abrasive

Product Description

The 3M 7100185275 is an uncoated, non-abrasive cloth belt designed for polishing and cleaning applications where abrasive media is not needed or is applied separately. The belt ships without any abrasive coating, making it suitable for use with an applied compound or for surface cleaning techniques that require a non-abrasive contact surface. The cloth backing can also be treated prior to use to meet specific application requirements, such as waterproofing. This type of belt is typically handled and installed by metalworking technicians, finishing shop operators, and industrial maintenance professionals.

This belt is used in polishing operations where a compound is applied directly to the belt surface, as well as in cleaning applications that call for non-abrasive contact. It is also suited for preparatory use when the belt will be treated or coated before service. The 48-inch length and 1-inch width fit belt finishing machines and stroke sanders configured for that size. The white cloth construction makes it straightforward to assess compound loading and surface condition during use.
