2.75 X 17.5 180G BLUE MAGN - Norton Company

The Norton 26511 2.75 x 17.5 180G BLUE MAGN abrasive is engineered for rigorous automotive and industrial tasks, delivering consistent, high-performance results for professional technicians. This abrasive utilizes premium zirconia alumina grain, known for its self-sharpening properties, to provide aggressive cutting action, extended operational life, and reduced heat buildup, making it highly effective for efficient surface preparation and material refinement across a diverse range of substrates.

Key Features

• Premium Zirconia Alumina Abrasive: Features a high-performance, self-sharpening zirconia alumina grain that ensures aggressive stock removal, improved cut rate, and prolonged durability on challenging materials commonly encountered in professional settings.
• Consistent 180 Grit Finish: Delivers a uniform medium-fine finish, ideal for precise surface refinement, smoothing, and preparing components for subsequent treatments such as coatings or paint, reducing the risk of burn marks on metal.
• Optimized 2.75 x 17.5 Inch Dimensions: Ensures broad compatibility with a wide array of professional sanding and grinding tools, including clip-on sanding blocks typically used in automotive body shops and industrial workshops.
• Robust Construction: Built with a strong E-weight paper, often latex-reinforced, that is synthetically coated for excellent durability, chip-resistance, and a superior bond system that optimizes grain adhesion and extends product life.
• Reduced Loading Design: Incorporates an open coat design and is non-stearated (free of anti-loading agents) to minimize material buildup, ensuring consistent performance and non-contamination, often a requirement for prime auto and aerospace paint applications.

Applications

• Automotive Surface Preparation: Ideal for preparing diverse automotive panels and vehicle components, including body filler, fiberglass, and composites, ensuring optimal adhesion and a smooth foundation for paint, primer, or other finishing applications.
• Industrial Material Refinement: Effectively smooths and blends surfaces on metal fabrications, wood, and composites, removing minor imperfections and blending marks from coarser grits.
• Deburring and Edge Finishing: Suitable for light deburring tasks and creating consistent, finished edges on workpieces, enhancing both part handling and overall appearance.
• Multi-Stage Sanding: Functions as a critical intermediate step in multi-stage sanding processes, establishing a uniform surface texture for subsequent finer grit abrasives and contributing to the desired final surface smoothness.
