Color-Coded Grit System

Choose the Right Pad for Your Application

Each color corresponds to a specific grit grade and task profile. Use the guide below to select the correct pad for your surface and finish requirement.

Green Scouring Pad

SKU: 8698
Coarse · ~220# Grit

Heavy-duty coarse pad for aggressive material removal, initial surface preparation, and metal polishing on harder substrates.

  • Stainless steel polishing & finishing

  • Aluminum surface preparation

  • Initial deburring of metal parts

  • Rust removal from carbon steel

  • Coarse surface conditioning

Red Scouring Pad

SKU: 7447
Medium · ~400# Grit

Versatile medium-grade pad for blending, cleaning, and finishing tasks on wood and softer metals where a finer result is needed.

  • Wood product polishing & prep

  • Copper & brass finishing

  • Scratch blending on metal

  • Light cleaning & scuffing

  • Between-coat surface prep

Gray Scouring Pad

SKU: 7467
Fine · ~600# Grit

Fine-grade pad for precision finishing, denibbing, and defuzzing — delivering smooth, clean surfaces ready for topcoat or final inspection.

  • Denibbing between finish coats

  • Defuzzing wood grain

  • Fine grinding & micro-finishing

  • Final surface conditioning

  • Ceramics & composite polishing

Key Features & Benefits

Built for Industrial Performance

Nonwoven aluminum oxide construction delivers consistent abrasive action across the full pad life — unlike sandpaper that loads and clogs, or steel wool that rusts and shreds.

Reusable & Long-Lasting

Resist tearing, splintering, and shredding across repeated use cycles. Far longer service life than sandpaper of equivalent grit, reducing total abrasive cost.

Never Rusts

Aluminum oxide nonwoven construction contains no metal fibers. Safe for use on stainless steel, food-contact surfaces, and all wet environments where steel wool contamination is a concern.

Flexible & Conformable

Fold, stack, or roll the pad to reach contoured surfaces, tight radii, and hard-to-access areas that rigid abrasive tools cannot address effectively.

Consistent Cut Rate

Very fine aluminum oxide abrasive mineral delivers uniform material removal and a repeatable surface finish from the first pass to the last — no hot spots or loading.

Wet & Dry Compatible

Performs equally well dry or with water, cutting oils, coolants, or cleaning solvents. No special handling or drying required between uses.

Wide Material Compatibility

Suitable for all metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, wood, plastic, ceramics, porcelain, rubber, and composite materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Industrial Scouring Pads

What grit grades are available?

Three grades: Green (8698) at ~220# coarse, Red (7447) at ~400# medium, and Gray (7467) at ~600# fine. Each color-coded grade is designed for a specific range of finishing and conditioning tasks.

Are these pads better than steel wool?

Yes. Unlike steel wool, aluminum oxide nonwoven pads do not rust, splinter, shred, or leave metallic fiber contamination. They are reusable, safe for wet use, and deliver more consistent, repeatable results across the pad's service life.

What surfaces can these pads be used on?

All metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper; wood; plastics; ceramics; porcelain; rubber; and composites. The pads are suitable for both industrial and household applications.

What are the pad dimensions?

Each pad is 6 inches (15.24 cm) wide × 9 inches (22.86 cm) long × 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) thick — a standard hand pad size compatible with most hand-held finishing operations.

Can these pads be used wet?

Yes. The nonwoven aluminum oxide construction is fully rust-proof and compatible with water, cutting oils, coolants, and cleaning solvents for both wet and dry applications.

Which industries use these abrasive hand pads?

Aerospace, metalworking, woodworking, marine, automotive, and MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) industries all use these pads for surface preparation, finishing, deburring, and cleaning tasks.
