DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
During sanding, material is mechanically removed
from a surface.
In the paint shop, carborundum or silicon carbide
abrasive on a substrate of paper or cloth are the
most common sanding materials used.
Carborundum is a very hard mineral consisting
mostly of aluminum oxide. During use carborundum
becomes blunt and wears away.

Soft Pads are recommended for manual refinishing
of contours, curves and difficult to reach areas. On
a Soft Pad the abrasive is found on a coarse
structured fleece. Because of this, it is very flexible,
does not kink and does not slip in the hand. This
enables a fine and even finish to be achieved.
Silicon carbide has a very high degree of hardness,
but is more brittle than carborundum. When silicon
carbide is used, the mineral grains break. New long
and pointed profiles are formed.
Use of the correct sanding paper depends on the
application, the substrates and the tools used. The
following table can be used as a guideline, but the
recommendations of the supplier of the auxiliary
materials and additive materials must be followed.
