Norton A296 P800 Hook & Loop Sanding Disc 150 mm – 100 Pack

Norton A296 P800 Hook & Loop Sanding Disc 150 mm – 100 Pack

Norton Saint-Gobain Gold Reserve A296 P800 is a hook and loop abrasive sanding disc designed for ultra-fine sanding and surface preparation on composites, fiberglass, plastics, wood, primed and painted surfaces. Featuring a 150 mm diameter, a 7-hole dust extraction pattern and P800 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 stearate coating. This construction supports controlled sanding while helping maintain flexibility and reduce abrasive loading during dry sanding operations.

P800 Grit and Fine Surface Preparation

P800 grit is intended for ultra-fine sanding, reducing fine sanding marks and preparing surfaces for subsequent finishing operations. It can be used after coarser abrasive grades to refine the surface of composite laminates, fiberglass components, primed parts and painted surfaces.

This grit grade is intended primarily for surface refinement rather than heavy material removal. Abrasive selection and sanding sequences should be determined according to the workpiece material and the required surface finish.

Gold Reserve A296 Construction

The aluminium oxide abrasive supports controlled sanding across different materials. Its latex-reinforced paper backing provides flexibility and helps the disc conform to workpiece geometries while offering resistance to tearing.

The water-based stearate coating helps reduce the accumulation of sanding dust and debris on the abrasive surface, limiting clogging during dry sanding operations. This feature is useful when working with fillers, primers and painted surfaces.

7-Hole Design and Hook & Loop Attachment

The 150 mm hook and loop fastening system allows convenient installation and replacement on compatible random orbital sanders. The 7-hole pattern supports dust extraction when used with a matching backing pad and suitable extraction system.

The Norton A296 series can be used on composite and fiberglass materials as well as plastics, wood, aluminium and ferrous metal surfaces. The P800 grade is particularly suitable for fine surface preparation and finishing stages.

Before use, ensure that the sanding disc is compatible with the machine backing pad, including diameter, attachment system and dust extraction hole pattern. The operating speed must remain within the limits specified for the equipment and backing pad. Appropriate dust extraction and personal protective equipment should be used according to the material being processed.
