The waterproof silicon carbide sandpaper is a high-performance and versatile abrasive that is particularly characterized by its durability and waterproof synthetic resin bonding. It is ideal for precise sanding work on a wide range of materials such as metal, wood, plastic and acrylic glass. The supple backing paper adapts very well to the surface, especially when sanding by hand
You can use this sandpaper for both dry and wet sanding. When wet sanding acrylic glass, for example, the water reduces heat build-up and prevents the sandpaper from clogging. The result is a particularly smooth surface. For the best results, you should regularly rinse the sandpaper with water to remove sanding residue and extend its service life.
Thanks to the high-quality silicon carbide abrasive grains, this sanding paper offers high abrasion resistance and a long service life, even with intensive use. In contrast to the cheaper aluminum oxide, silicon carbide is harder and more brittle and breaks out with more pointed and sharper edges. Because individual and higher grit points break off precisely, the entire grit surface continues to level itself until it is used up. The uniform sanding pattern is maintained right to the end at a high removal rate. In addition, the waterproof synthetic resin bonding ensures that the grains remain bonded to the paper for a long time.
