Originally launched in 2014 as its first sanding disc containing Precision-Shaped Grain (PSG), the 775L range exemplifies 3M’s commitment to innovation and excellence. The new grades, ranging from 500+ to 1000+, feature precision-shaped grains that are smaller than the width of a human hair. In addition to developing the fine grade shaped grains, 3M has also optimized grain distribution and orientation on the disc. This ensures that each grain works harder, helping to deliver up to 2x more speed and 6x more life without compromising the finish quality.
“At 3M, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with our science-driven innovations,” said Annabel Parker, global portfolio manager at 3M. “The expanded 775L range demonstrates our commitment to providing solutions that enhance productivity, improve safety and help reduce costs for our customers in more applications – such as scuffing, topcoat preparation, coating refinement and rework.”
By delivering faster cutting and longer-lasting abrasives, the 775L range reduces the need for frequent disc changeovers, leading to significant potential cost savings and reduced downtime.
The advanced PSG technology in the 775L range, when paired with the Xtract clean sanding hole pattern, not only boosts productivity but also delivers significant health and safety benefits – it is designed for clean sanding through optimized dust extraction, offers up to 32% less vibration, and up to 20% less noise. These features enhance workplace safety and cleanliness, benefiting operators’ health and safety, improving workshop conditions, and reducing rework.
