Industrial Micro-Mesh Discs for Controlled Finishing Micro-Mesh discs use a flexible cushioned abrasive construction rather than a conventional coated grit surface. Abrasive crystals are embedded within a resilient matrix, allowing controlled movement under pressure. This design delivers: Consistent micro-scratch patterns Reduced heat generation Lower abrasive loading Extended working life Greater surface integrity during fine finishing Where finish quality and predictability are critical, Micro-Mesh provides a more controlled alternative to standard sanding discs. Optimised for Machine Efficiency Micro-Mesh sanding discs are specified for powered finishing processes, enabling faster throughput without sacrificing surface quality. Hook & Loop (Velcro) Backing Rapid disc changeover during multi-grade processes Suitable for progressive finishing sequences Reusable in production environments Self Adhesive (PSA) Backing Secure, low-profile attachment Ideal for precision-controlled finishing Both types are compatible with orbital sanders, DA sanders and most rotary tools with a compatible backing pad: Velcro backing pads with M14 thread (2″ – 8″ dia) Velcro backing pads with shank (1″ – 3″ dia) Self-Adhesive backing pads with M14 thread (6″ dia) Self-Adhesive backing pads with shank (1″ – 3″ dia) Using machine-mounted micro-mesh discs significantly reduces finishing time while maintaining uniform surface refinement.

RODA Felt Discs – Also Velcro/PSA backed. Use to apply metal finishing compounds and polish following the Micro-Mesh abrasive process. Micro-Mesh 100% Cotton Polishing Cloth – Perfect or applying compounds & liquid abrasives by hand. Tuf-Buf Lambswool Polishing Pads – Great for machine assisted application of Micro-Mesh liquids & compounds. Micro-Gloss Liquid Abrasive – Follow the final Micro-Mesh stage/finest grade to enhance the finish. Micro-Mesh Anti-Static Cream – Use after Micro-Gloss as a final step on plastics & polycarbonate to remove static charge generated during polishing. Metal Finishing Compounds – Great way to enhance your finish when working with metal surfaces post-Micro-Mesh. Suitable for wet or dry use. Wet sanding improves debris clearance and extends disc service life. Micro-Mesh Types – Identify Your Process Selecting the correct abrasive type ensures optimal cutting performance and finish quality. Regular For plastics, acrylic, composites, wood and soft metals. Specified where clarity restoration and fine surface blending are required. MX Developed for harder metals including stainless steel. Provides firmer backing response for controlled metallic finishing. AO (Aluminium Oxide) Designed for aluminium and solid surface materials such as Corian. Offers enhanced initial refinement prior to polishing stages. For full technical details on Micro-Mesh types, consult our Micro-Mesh grade guide. Full Micron-Graded Range – Down to 1 micron Micro-Mesh discs are graded in microns rather than conventional FEPA “P” grits. Higher micron values = greater material removal Lower micron values = finer finish Typical progression: 1500 (30µm) – surface levelling 4000 (5µm) – pre-polish refinement 12000 (1µm) – ultra-fine finishing Complete grade availability allows precise control of your finishing sequence. For FEPA equivalencies and detailed comparisons, refer to our Micro-Mesh grade comparison chart.
