3M Releases Improved Sanding Product

Oct. 4, 2013

Oct. 4, 2013—3M has released the new 3M Cubitron II Clean Sanding Hookit Disc with the goal of reducing sanding time and lengthening the functional life of sanding products.

3M states that the Cubitron II is as much as 30 percent faster and lasts twice as long as conventional ceramic premium abrasives.

The product provides faster paint removal and early sanding stage in small or large area body repairs. It also fills in the body for rough shaping and feather edging while lasting longer and delivering a finer, more uniform finish.

The 3M Precision-Shaped Grain Technology uses triangular-shaped ceramic grains that continuously fracture to form sharp points and edges that slice through paint and filler. The technology allows the disc to run cooler, reducing degradation.
