Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip Disc was designed to help operators tackle tough metalworking challenges: think paint prep and coating and corrosion removal. When removing unwanted contaminants and stubborn imperfections – or smoothing a rough surface – it’s a good idea to have a load-resistant, sharp-cutting abrasive on hand. The Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip Disc SB00948 is an extra coarse grade, aggressive, open-web disc engineered to effectively clean welds, remove rust and strip paint. The open construction and aggressive abrasive properties provide a smooth running wheel that resists loading when removing soft coatings. The non-woven disc is a safe alternative to wire brushes, offers a greater surface area, and leaves a finer finish than wire wheels or brushes, which may eliminate the need for subsequent finishing steps. The Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip Disc SB00948 uses extra coarse silicon carbide abrasive mineral. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep. While it breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish.
