Description
3M 7010310033 is the Scotch-Brite Pro ultra fine hand pad 7448 made for efficient surface preparation and light finishing operations. This scotch brite 7448 pad pairs ultra fine silicon carbide mineral with a resilient non woven web to deliver a consistent scratch and uniform scuffing across wood, metal, plastics and glass. Use the 3m scotch brite ultra fine hand pad 7448 for paint and primer prep, general scuff sanding, hand blending and light deburring where a smooth finish is required. The open web, load resistant construction resists clogging and heat build up, allowing repeated wet or dry use and easy rinsing for multiple reuse cycles. As a rust free alternative to steel wool, the 7448 Scotch Brite Pro pad reduces contamination and eliminates metal splinters while producing reproducible surface finish results.
