Abrasive Non-Woven Roll 3M 7100182470, 115 mm x 10 m, Red, A Fine/Medium

The 3M abrasive non-woven roll, 115 mm x 10 m in red with A Fine/Medium grade, is engineered for surface conditioning tasks on metal, wood and painted substrates. The non-woven construction delivers uniform cutting action with reduced gouging and adapts to contours and irregular shapes, making it suitable for both manual and machine-assisted finishing. Designed for use with rollers, wrapped around drums or applied by hand, this abrasive roll supports blending, deburring and final surface preparation prior to painting or coating.

Advantages

The non-woven material provides consistent abrasive performance and a controlled cutting rate that minimizes edge damage while maintaining finish quality. Its conformable structure allows effective access to recesses and complex profiles without creating sharp scratches. The open web design reduces loading and heat buildup, extending usable life and maintaining stable performance during prolonged use.

How to use

Select the appropriate contact pressure and motion for the substrate and desired finish; light consistent strokes for delicate finishes and moderate pressure for more aggressive material removal. When using rollers or drums, wrap the non-woven roll evenly and secure it according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. For hand use, cut a convenient length and work along the contour, maintaining even contact. Inspect the surface frequently and replace sections of the roll when cutting performance declines to avoid uneven results.

Recommendations

For optimal results, test on a representative area to determine the best pressure and stroke. Avoid excessive heat buildup by using steady motions and allowing the abrasive to cool; replace the roll when it becomes loaded or loses abrasive action. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask and gloves when conditioning surfaces.
