Sandpaper sheet GRAPHITE 55H885, grit not specified, width 115 mm, single pack

GRAPHITE sanding paper 55H885 is a single abrasive sheet for manual sanding and small surface-preparation jobs. The sheet measures 230 x 280 mm (notched or trimmed for use as a 115 mm wide manual strip) and is intended for smoothing and finishing wood, wood-based materials, metals and plastics. It features a C-paper backing and a semi-open aluminium oxide coating that covers about 80–90% of the surface to improve cutting efficiency and reduce clogging. The product is compatible with orbital sanders, hand sanding blocks and trowels; it is supplied as a single pack weighing approximately 179 g.

Advantages

The semi-open abrasive layer provides effective material removal while lowering the risk of clogging during sanding. C-paper backing gives the sheet mechanical strength suitable for hand sanding and use with sanding blocks or orbital tools. The format and single-sheet packaging make the product convenient for quick repairs, touch-ups and small jobs without extra preparation.

Suitable for

• Smoothing and finishing wooden surfaces and wood-based panels
• Removing paint or rust from small metal areas
• Preparing plastic parts for adhesion or repainting
• Hand sanding with sanding blocks and detail work with orbital sanders or trowels

When it may not be suitable

This single-sheet product is not intended for large-scale industrial sanding tasks where multi-sheet rolls or specialist abrasive systems are more cost-effective. For extended heavy-duty metal removal or continuous production use, thicker backing, specialised grit types or higher quantities are usually recommended.

Key specifications

• Sheet dimensions: 230 x 280 mm (usable as 115 mm wide strip)
• Abrasive grain: aluminium oxide (semi-open coating, ~80–90% coverage)
• Backing: C-paper (mechanical/hand sanding use)
• Typical applications: wood, wood-based materials, metals, plastics
• Pack quantity: 1 sheet; approximate weight: 179 g

How to use

Select the appropriate grit for the task and ensure the workpiece is clean and dry. Attach or hold the sheet firmly in a sanding block or use it by hand for small areas; the sheet can also be fitted to compatible orbital sanders or used with a trowel where appropriate. Apply even pressure and sand along the grain on wood surfaces for the best finish. Replace the sheet when abrasive performance decreases to avoid uneven sanding or surface damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the grit needed for your task; this listing does not specify the grit number
• For large or continuous jobs, consider bulk formats or roll abrasives for cost efficiency
• Check compatibility with your sanding tool (sheet size and backing type)

Usage recommendations

Use the sheet for touch-ups, small repairs and detail sanding. For best results on wood, sand with the grain and progress through finer grits as needed; for metal and painted surfaces, combine with appropriate cleaners and protective equipment.
