Norton A296 P120 Hook & Loop Sanding Disc 150 mm – 100 Pack

Norton A296 P120 Hook & Loop Sanding Disc 150 mm – 100 Pack

Norton Saint-Gobain Gold Reserve A296 P120 is a hook and loop sanding disc designed for sanding and surface preparation on composites, fiberglass, wood, plastics, metals and painted surfaces. Featuring a 150 mm diameter, a 7-hole dust extraction pattern and P120 grit, the product is supplied in packs of 100 discs.

The Gold Reserve A296 series combines aluminium oxide abrasive grains with a latex-reinforced paper backing and a water-based No-Fil stearate coating. This construction supports controlled material removal, flexibility and reduced abrasive loading during dry sanding operations.

P120 Grit and Surface Preparation

P120 grit is suitable for moderate material removal, surface levelling and intermediate sanding. It can be used for preparing composite laminates, sanding fiberglass surfaces, levelling polyester fillers and preparing primed surfaces before subsequent finishing processes.

When a finer surface finish is required, additional sanding stages using progressively finer grit sizes may be necessary. The appropriate abrasive grade should be selected according to the material and desired surface finish.

Gold Reserve A296 Construction

The aluminium oxide abrasive supports consistent cutting action across various materials. Its durable latex-reinforced paper backing provides flexibility, allowing the disc to conform to different surface geometries while resisting tearing during sanding.

The water-based No-Fil stearate coating is designed to reduce the accumulation of sanding dust and debris on the abrasive surface. This helps limit clogging and supports continued abrasive performance during dry sanding.

7-Hole Design and Hook & Loop Attachment

The 150 mm hook and loop attachment allows convenient installation and replacement on compatible sanding machines. The 7-hole configuration supports dust extraction when used with a matching backing pad and suitable extraction system.

The disc can be used for sanding composite components, preparing fiberglass laminates, working on wood and plastic surfaces, and processing painted or primed materials. The Norton A296 series is also suitable for aluminium and ferrous metal sanding applications.

Before use, ensure compatibility between the sanding disc and machine backing pad, including diameter, attachment system and dust extraction holes. The maximum permitted operating speed of the equipment and backing pad must not be exceeded. Appropriate dust extraction and personal protective equipment should be used according to the material being processed.
