3M 048011-16555 Scotch-Brite 6448 Light Duty Hand Pads, Silicon Carbide, Dark Gray

The Scotch-Brite Light Duty Hand Pad 6448 is an ultra-fine grade abrasive pad designed for cleaning, finishing, and buffing various metal surfaces. It offers a superior alternative to steel wool, solving the problem of shedding, rusting, or splintering that can contaminate surfaces or injure workers.

• Durability is enhanced by the non-woven, open web construction, which will not shred, rust, or splinter like traditional steel wool, ensuring cleaner results and longer service life.
• Increases efficiency by prepping primer paint for the final coat without contaminating the surface, which reduces rework and ensures a high-quality finish.
• Offers ease of use as it can be used directly by hand for precise control, or paired with a hand pad block or in-line sander for faster completion on large surface areas.

This hand pad is best suited for contractors, painters, and maintenance personnel working on metal fabrication, automotive bodywork, or general maintenance where a fine-grade abrasive is required for finishing and light duty cleaning tasks.

Made with Silicon Carbide mineral and featuring a dark gray color, these pads are supplied with Manufacturer Part Number(s): 048011-16555.
