Delivering uncompromising results metalworkers have expected from Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip for nearly 40 years with a faster speed rating, convenient quick-change threaded hub and extended life.

With reengineered fiber, Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip discs offer increased conformability without undercutting strength.

Rated for high speeds, both the Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip XT Pro and XT Pro Extra Cut spin easily onto your angle grinder with a quick-change threaded hub – no accessories needed.

A strengthening resin bond reveals new high-strength fibers and sharp mineral as it breaks down to deliver a consistent cut over time.

Applications

  • Rust Removal
  • Paint Removal
  • Mill Scale Removal
  • Coating Removal
  • Adhesive Removal
  • Surface Preparation

Product Details

Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc features silicon carbide abrasive mineral incorporated into an open nylon web. It effectively removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings and adhesives from surfaces without significantly altering the base material. The high-strength fibers are highly conformable, resist chunking and loading, and perform well on the edges of a workpiece.

  • Quickly removes rust, paint, mill scale and coatings from metal
  • High-strength fiber resists chunking and performs well on edges
  • High conformability provides a larger contact patch for faster removal rates
  • Silicon carbide mineral cuts aggressively and leaves a fine finish
  • Resists loading for consistent cutting action
  • High speed rating, low vibration and low spark

Take Advantage of High Conformability

With its reengineered fiber, the Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc allow operators to take advantage of all the benefits that come with increased conformability without compromising strength. With increased conformability, this disc achieves a larger contact area with the workpiece for faster removal rates. It also conforms to weld bead ripples to polish welds without removing them and works in hard-to-reach areas without damaging the substrate.

In addition to its high conformability, the Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc offers low vibration, decreased chunking, low spark, a high-speed rating and long life. That all adds up to a disc you can spin onto your angle grinder with confidence.

Spongy Web, Sharp Mineral

To engineer 3M Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc, silicon carbide mineral is combined with non-woven nylon fibers using resin. Silicon carbide is a very sharp synthetic mineral commonly used in low-pressure applications like paint prep. The resin bond strengthens the disc and gradually breaks down to reveal new fibers and sharp mineral — delivering a consistent cut over the life of the abrasive.

Removing Paint From Metal

The combination of fiber strands, resin and abrasive mineral forms a thick, open web. The spring-like nature of the fibers responds to contours and effectively removes unwanted burrs, soils, and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity. Gaps in the web allow swarf to escape, minimizing loading of the abrasive.
