The 3M™ High Performance Ribbed Back-Up Pad designed to deliver firm support of abrasive fibre discs during aggressive grinding and finishing. The ribbed design of the back-up pad helps increase stiffness and grinding pressure while also helping to keep the disc cool. This allows for more aggressive metalworking action without damaging the work surface, which helps increase productivity.
Rib Design Takes Down Heavy Welds
The 3M™ High Performance Ribbed Back-Up Pad helps you get the best cut rate and lifespan out of your abrasive discs during aggressive metal grinding and finishing applications. The ribbed pattern provides additional force for optimal fracturing of ceramic abrasive mineral, which helps the disc deliver more consistent results. By reducing contact area, the ribs also help direct and pull heat away from the disc, which helps to reduce heat buildup and prevent discoloration of metal surfaces.
The 3M Quality Difference
3M designs abrasive systems to last, which means paying attention to every detail of the process from discs to power tools and all of the accessories in between. A wide range of options are available to provide the best possible solutions for industrial applications. With top-quality materials and precise ribbed design, the 3M™ High Performance Ribbed Back-Up Pad is a prime example of how 3M applies materials science to improve industries where effective grinding operations are critical. It is just one of a long line of excellent abrasive products engineered by 3M to help businesses like yours operate faster, better and more efficiently.
