Manual sanding supply GRAPHITE 55H887, for wood, width 230 mm, 1 pc, weight 86 g

GRAPHITE 55H887 manual sanding supply is a single sheet abrasive designed for woodworking and general surface preparation. The sheet measures 230 x 280 mm, has an abrasive grain size of P80 and a C-paper backing suitable for mechanical sanding. Its semi-open coating with alumina abrasive covers approximately 80–90% of the surface to improve cutting efficiency and reduce clogging during use. The sheet is intended for hand sanding and for use with orbital sanders, sanding blocks and trowels when working on wood, wood-based materials, metals and plastics.

Advantages

The semi-open alumina coating provides consistent material removal and lowers the likelihood of dust and debris build-up, extending usable life under typical conditions. The C-paper backing ensures a good balance of flexibility and strength, allowing controlled pressure when used by hand or with a powered orbital sander. The 230 mm working width and single-sheet supply make it practical for small jobs, touch-ups and targeted surface finishing.

Suitable for

• Sanding and smoothing wooden panels and parts
• Surface preparation before painting, varnishing or staining
• Matting or de-rusting metal surfaces prior to coating
• Sanding plastics and composite boards
• Use with orbital grinders, sanding blocks and hand trowels

How to use

Select the P80 grit sheet for initial stock removal or rough shaping of wooden surfaces. When using by hand, attach the sheet to a sanding block or hold it firmly and move with even strokes along the grain to avoid cross-grain scratches. For orbital sanders, fix the sheet according to the machine’s fastening system and operate at the manufacturer’s recommended speed. Apply moderate pressure and check the surface frequently; replace the sheet when the abrasive becomes clogged or worn to maintain consistent results.

Usage recommendations

For best results on wood, start with P80 to remove material or old finishes, then progress to finer grits for smoothing. When sanding metals or plastics, keep the sheet moving to avoid overheating and check compatibility with the substrate. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as dust masks and eye protection when sanding.
