Merit Abrasives 05539512522 Hook Loop Disc 50 Grit 6 in

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 05539512522 is a 6-inch hook and loop abrasive disc designed for surface preparation, blending, and finishing tasks in trade and industrial settings. Built with aluminum oxide grain on a non-woven, flexible backing, this disc delivers consistent coarse-grade cutting action at 50 grit. The hook and loop attachment system allows for fast disc changes without adhesive residue or downtime. Rated to 8,500 RPM, it handles demanding material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. The brown, non-woven construction provides controlled abrasion without loading as quickly as coated alternatives, making it a reliable choice for prep work before coating or welding.

This disc is suited for residential and commercial finishing applications where a coarse cut is needed to remove rust, scale, paint, or surface contaminants. It fits standard 6-inch hook and loop random orbital sanders and finishing tools commonly used by metal fabricators, auto body technicians, and general contractors. The flexible backing conforms to slightly contoured surfaces, extending its usefulness beyond flat stock. Discs are sold individually but are subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making this product appropriate for shop stock and professional supply purchasing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade professionals and experienced users familiar with abrasive tooling.

Inspect the disc for tears or delamination before each use and replace if any damage is present.
