Advertentie

Perfect for fine finishing

With a P180 grit, this sandpaper falls into the 'fine' category. This makes it highly suitable for lightly sanding existing paint layers before applying a new coat, or for smoothing untreated wood. It ensures good adhesion of the new paint without damaging the surface with coarse scratches.

Dry sanding with SAM quality

This sandpaper is specifically designed for dry use. The paper does not clog with dust too quickly, provided you tap it out regularly. Since it is a set of 5 sheets, it is especially a convenient purchase for small to medium DIY jobs around the house where you don't need a whole roll or bulk pack.

Frequently asked questions

What does 'P180' stand for?

The 'P' refers to the European standard (FEPA), and the number 180 indicates the grit size. The higher the number, the finer the grit. P180 is a fine grit, ideal for sanding paint layers and fine woodworking.

Can I use this sandpaper wet?

No, this is specifically dry sandpaper. If it gets wet, the paper backing will tear quickly and lose its effectiveness. For wet sanding, you need waterproof sandpaper.

Is this sandpaper suitable for a sanding machine?

These sheets are primarily meant for manual sanding or for use on a hand-sanding block. You can cut them to size for clamp-on sanders, but they do not have a hook-and-loop (velcro) backing.
