3M Xtract™ Paper Disc 236U features a proprietary multi-hole pattern that evacuates dust more effectively than traditional 5- or 6-hole products. This innovative design dramatically increases the disc's lifespan by achieving an ideal balance between the abrasive surface and dust extraction holes, maximizing both cut performance and durability. Built for a Broad Range of Applications 3M Xtract™ Paper Disc 236U is versatile and suitable for various tasks, including: Blending and finishing on aluminum and carbon steel. Woodworking applications, such as heavy and medium stock removal and finishing on hardwoods, softwoods, and composites. Use on primer, paint, sealers, topcoats, fiberglass, and plastics. Open Coat Helps Reduce Loading The C-weight paper backing ensures durability, supports aggressive sanding, and minimizes edge wear. The open coat design creates space between abrasive grains, allowing dust to escape and preventing it from clogging the cutting edges. A load-resistant coating ensures the disc continues cutting effectively, even on softwoods, paints, and other materials prone to clogging. Efficient Dust Extraction Dust-free sanding improves both performance and disc longevity. 3M Xtract™ Discs are designed for optimal dust removal, offering: A proprietary multi-hole pattern that removes dust at a higher rate than traditional 5- or 6-hole discs. A design that eliminates the need to align holes with the disc pad, making disc changes quick and simple. For maximum dust extraction, pair the disc with: A 3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Back-up Pad (sold separately). A random orbital sander with vacuum (sold separately). The 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system uses a hook-and-loop design for fast and easy disc changes, improving productivity and reducing material consumption. By combining advanced dust extraction, reduced loading, and versatile application, the 3M Xtract™ Paper Disc 236U delivers improved efficiency and exceptional results.
