The Scotch-Brite General Purpose Pro Hand Pad 7447 combines flexibility with effective cutting action and precise hand control to accomplish tough cleaning jobs or produce fine finishing results, use after use. Very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasives cut fast and fine, leaving a smooth, finished surface. Suitable for use on a wide variety of materials and for many different tasks. The performance of Scotch-Brite General Purpose Hand Pad 7447 is comparable to steel wool grade 1. However, unlike steel wool, this pad won't shred during use, rust after use, or create fine metal splinters. The nonwoven, open-web material resists loading and can be used dry, with water or solvents, and rinsed clean for reuse. This multipurpose 6 x 9"" hand pad can be used by hand for precise control, with a hand pad block for uniform finishing, or on an in-line sander to cover large areas. Recommended applications include scuffing, cleaning, blending and surface preparation.
