Surface preparation, finishing, and cleaning tasks across commercial facility maintenance require a hand pad that cuts consistently, conforms to irregular surfaces, and will not rust, shred, or leave metal splinters the way steel wool does. The 3M Scotch-Brite 7447 Maroon General Purpose Hand Pad combines a flexible, non-woven open-web construction with very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasive to clean, scuff, deburr, finish, and grain a wide range of surfaces by hand -- outperforming steel wool, wire brushes, and other hand pads across repeated uses.
Key Features:
- Very Fine Grade Aluminum Oxide Abrasive -- Aluminum oxide mineral cuts fast and fine, leaving a smooth, consistent finish -- comparable in performance to steel wool grade 1, but without the rusting, shredding, or metal splinters.
- Flexible Non-Woven Open-Web Construction -- Pad conforms to flat, irregular, and contoured surfaces -- gets into corners and curves without sacrificing performance or losing its shape.
- Won't Rust, Shred, or Splinter -- Non-metallic construction will not rust after use, shred during use, or leave fine metal splinters in the work surface or on hands -- safer and cleaner than steel wool.
- Resists Loading -- Long, Reusable Life -- Open-web material resists loading and clogging -- pad can be rinsed clean and reused repeatedly, providing long, economical service life.
- Use Dry, Wet, or with Solvents -- Compatible with water, solvents, or dry use -- versatile for a wide range of cleaning, finishing, and surface preparation applications.
- Can Be Folded, Stacked, or Rolled -- Flexible pad can be folded, stacked, or rolled for effective cleaning of irregular, contoured, or detailed surfaces.
Where to Use:
