Abrasive sandpaper

Waterproof Paper: Silicon carbide grain. Latex treated light (a) to medium-light (C) paper backing used with water in hand and mechanical sanding applications. The water functions both to cool and lubricate the work piece while carrying away swarf build-up. Most often used between coats of painted, varnished or lacquered surfaces for very fine finishes. Closed coated grain surface.

Zinc Stearate Paper: Silicon carbide grain. This finishing paper was developed for fine sanding of sealers and primers. The zinc stearate provides greater resistance to loading than standard finishing papers with zinc stearate acting as a lubricant. Available in an open coated grain and A-weight paper backing.

Cloth:

Marvel cloth sheets are manufactured from high quality woven cotton fabric that is pre-shrunk, stretched and filled to produce the durability, flexibility and surface constancy needed in sanding applications. As with the paper sheets, all cloth sheets indicate the cloth weight (X or J) and the grit size on the sheet backside.

Cloth Applications:

Metal Cloth: Aluminum oxide grain. These durable, general purpose metal cloth sheets are extremely popular because they can be used in so many industrial applications, ranging from rough to fine sanding on all types of materials. Closed coated grain surface in X and J (depending on grit size) cloth backings.
