United 6A Stearated Aluminum Oxide Paper Discs represent a specialized and high-performance category within the realm of abrasive discs. These discs are designed for exceptional sanding and finishing applications, particularly in woodworking and metalworking tasks. The "6A" designation typically refers to the grade or quality of the abrasive material. These discs feature a paper backing that is coated with stearated aluminum oxide abrasive particles. The addition of stearate, a waxy substance, minimizes clogging and heat build-up during sanding, enhancing the overall efficiency and longevity of the disc. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in applications where heat can affect the quality of the finish or the longevity of the abrasive disc. The aluminum oxide abrasive itself is known for its toughness and versatility, making it suitable for a variety of materials.
