3M™ Scotch-Brite™ CF-RL non-woven abrasive roll

The 3M Scotch-Brite CF-RL roll is a roll of fine non-woven abrasive for cleaning and finishing delicate surfaces by hand: metals, lacquers and plastics. You cut the length you need for the job.

Specifications

• Material: Scotch-Brite non-woven, reinforced web.
• Grades: A medium, A very fine, A super fine, S ultra fine.
• Widths: from 50 to 370 mm.
• Lengths: 10 m and 25 m rolls for most widths.

Type A or type S

3M gives a simple rule: the A version (aluminium oxide) for a fine matt finish, the S version (silicon carbide) for an even finer, brighter finish.

What this non-woven does

The web deforms and conforms to the part: you work precisely without altering its shape. The open-mesh structure does not clog, and the grain keeps a consistent cut. The reinforced web lasts longer than a standard non-woven.

Uses

Matting lacquers and varnishes before recoating, scuffing plastics before bonding or painting, light cleaning and satin finishing of metals, preparing delicate surfaces in bodywork and manufacturing. The roll format lets you cut pieces to suit the part, by hand or on a block.

Tips

For an even satin finish, work in a single direction. On a lacquer or varnish, check regularly that the surface is matt everywhere: a shiny area has not been touched and will not take the next coat well.
