3M Wetordry abrasive sheet 213Q is an abrasive sanding paper constructed on a light, A-weight paper backing and features a waterproof resin bonding to help prevent heat build-up. The aluminum oxide abrasive and waterproof backing make this paper an ideal product for sanding applications such as paint prep, sanding, sealer sanding and solid surface finishing. Our 3M Wetordry abrasive sheet 213Q is best suited for metal sanding and finishing thanks to its versatility and fast cutting abrasive material. Its flexible, A-weight paper backing provides smooth operation and durability and can conform to the shape of contoured parts for consistent finishing. Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut rate, hardness and strength, it is widely used for sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for use on a wide variety of materials in metalworking and auto body repair. This paper also uses a resin bonding which is specially designed to resist thermal and chemical deterioration, which can occur during sanding. This bond is very tough and excellent for precision work on hard and soft surfaces. This also allows for faster sanding and a higher cut rate. The waterproof coating enables the user to rinse areas of the workpiece and the paper during use to prevent dust and debris from clogging the points of the abrasive, while producing a faster cut at the same time.
