3M™ Hookit™ Paper Sheet 426U

3M Hookit Paper Sheet 426U is a general purpose abrasive sanding sheet constructed on a light, A-weight paper backing and features an anti-load coating to help prevent loading of the abrasive sheet. The silicon carbide abrasive and light backing make this paper an ideal product for sanding applications like paint prep, white wood sanding, sealer sanding and solid surface finishing.

The 3M™ Hookit™ Paper Sheet 426U is best suited for light sanding and finishing thanks to its flexibility and silicon carbide mineral. Its light, A-weight paper backing provides smooth operation even in small contours and can be cut and folded to fit any work piece or hand tool. The abrasive side features an open coat for fine finishing.

The 3M™ Hookit™ Paper Sheet 426U is designed to handle a wide range of sanding and finishing needs in work spaces where adhesive backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt or flying debris. These high-quality, coated abrasive sheets provide optimal performance when paired with a 3M™ Hookit™ backup pad. These products attach firmly even in dusty conditions, and can be removed cleanly and easily. This allows these sheets to be re-used again and again for the extent of the abrasive life.

This paper sheet uses silicon carbide mineral, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and smooth finish. This synthetic mineral is very hard and fractures easily, resulting in freshly exposed sharp edges that cut fast and produce a smooth finish. Silicon carbide products are commonly used for low-pressure applications such as cleaning and finishing on wood and metal. While it wears faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish.

This sheet also uses a resin bonding which is specially designed to resist thermal deterioration, which can occur during sanding. This bond is very tough and excellent for precision work on hard and soft wood. This also allows for faster sanding and a higher cut rate.
