Norton A296 P80 Hook & Loop Sanding Disc 150 mm – 100 Pack

Norton A296 P80 Hook & Loop Sanding Disc 150 mm – 100 Pack

Norton Saint-Gobain Gold Reserve A296 P80 is a hook and loop abrasive sanding disc designed for sanding and surface preparation on composites, fiberglass, plastics, wood, primed and painted surfaces. Featuring a 150 mm diameter, 7-hole dust extraction pattern and P80 grit, the product is supplied in packs of 100 discs.

The Gold Reserve A296 series combines aluminium oxide abrasive grains with a durable latex-reinforced paper backing and a water-based No-Fil stearate coating. This construction supports material removal during dry sanding while helping reduce abrasive loading and clogging.

P80 Grit and Abrasive Construction

P80 is a coarse abrasive grit suitable for surface levelling, material removal and initial surface preparation. Typical applications include sanding composite components, preparing fiberglass laminates, levelling polyester fillers and preparing surfaces before subsequent finishing operations.

The aluminium oxide abrasive provides cutting action across a range of materials. Applications requiring a finer surface finish may require additional sanding stages using progressively finer grit sizes.

Gold Reserve A296 Features

The latex-reinforced paper backing provides flexibility and helps the disc conform to different workpiece geometries while offering resistance to tearing during sanding.

The water-based No-Fil stearate coating is designed to reduce the accumulation of sanding debris on the abrasive surface, helping limit clogging during dry sanding operations.

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