Gold Sanding Discs - PSA sanding discs
Gold Sanding Discs


PSA gold stearate sanding discs are made with premium aluminum oxide grain. Non-loading gold aluminum oxide sticky back sanding discs are suitable for most lacquer and polyurethane finishes on woods. Their non-loading pressure sensitive paper reduces dust and grit contamination. The sanding discs are available in stacked or roll packages to suit your shops needs. 

Sticky backed abrasive sanding discs are available in a series of grits - choose from 40 Grit to 600 Grit.  The most common grits used for removing surface scratches on metal are 150, 180 and 240 grit.  This enables a step down process for surface scratch removal depending upon the depth of the surface scratches. 

Gold stearate sanding discs used with a random orbital sander such as a Dynabrade 56815 Dynorbital Supreme is an effective combination for removing surface scratches on metals and alloys such as stainless steel and pot metal.  Both 5” PSA gold stearate sanding discs and 6 inch pressure sensitive sanding discs are available to fit a wide array of sanders.

Pot metal also known as white metal or die cast zinc is an alloy comprised of low melting point metals.
