Anatomy of a Hookit™ Disc
Our 3M™ Hookit™ Microfinishing Film Roll 268L feature aluminum oxide mineral bonded to a durable polyester film backing, producing a fast cut-rate and uniform finish on plastic, paint, metals, e-coat and wood. 268L is commonly used for defect repair and leveling, orbital sanding, AEOM finishing and repair and prepping metal prior to paint.

We manufactured this product with aluminum oxide, which 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. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking (PDF, 20.55 Mb) and metalworking (PDF, 73.23 Mb).

Aggressive cut with uniform finish and flexible film backing make it a great choice for contoured surfaces
The resin-bonded abrasive is flexible without sacrificing durability and reliable performance. To complement the effective cutting action, the polyester film backing flexes to help achieve a consistent finish over contours and offers greater tear resistance than comparable paper products, making it ideal for high-production environments.

Swift Attachment, Enhanced Productivity
The 3M™ Hookit™ backing provides easy attachment, holds the product securely in place during use and removes cleanly from the backup pad (sold separately). Designed for use with a variety of tools, this product comes in a range of micron grades for complete multi-step sanding and finishing.

The high-quality, ready-to-use 3M™ Hookit™ Microfinishing Film Roll 268L is designed to cut sharp and attach quickly to a variety of products. These characteristics help contribute to something you can be proud of — a hard day's work.
