Scotch-Brite™ Discs for Metal Surface Preparation

Zone Heading Description

For metal surface prep, coating removal and finishing, nothing compares to the performance of a nonwoven disc. Their conformable construction makes them a game-changing tool to have in the metal shop, performing fine finishing work that other surface prep discs like flap discs can’t accomplish.

Nonwoven Scotch-Brite™ Discs come in a wide range of sizes and attachment types for use on your tools — including Roloc™ attachment systems. Whether you’re using an angle grinder to strip rust from metal or a die grinder on a small refining step, there’s a trusted Scotch-Brite™ Disc designed to deliver outstanding results.

Technology Spotlight | Nonwoven Abrasives
- With growing demand for abrasives to remove coatings and leave the metal underneath intact, 3M engineers built a solution: nonwoven abrasives. By adhering abrasive grain into the conformable nylon web, Scotch-Brite™ Discs quickly remove unwanted surface imperfections without cutting into the metal like fibre discs or flap discs.
- Since first developing nonwoven abrasives in 1958, 3M engineers have continually refined the technology through the decades to create the premium Scotch-Brite™ Discs used around the world today.
