Frequently asked questions about the Grinding paper category
What is grinding paper and what is it used for?
Grinding paper is an abrasive material for manual and machine sanding, used to remove rust and paint, smooth wood, and prepare surfaces for painting. The category includes sheets, discs and sanding mesh in various grits (P80–P600+) and sizes such as 114×102 mm, 115 mm Ø and 225 mm for eccentric and orbital sanders.
How to choose grit — differences between P120, P1000, P2000 and P3000?
P120 is coarse for removing old coatings and leveling; P1000–P2000 are very fine for final sanding and pre-polishing; P3000 is ultra-fine for polishing lacquer and automotive finishes. Higher P number = finer abrasive; select by working stage.
Is there grinding paper with velcro for 115 mm and 225 mm?
Yes — the range includes velcro-backed discs such as ABRANET ECO 115 mm and Specialist+ 225 mm sanding discs suitable for corresponding sander pads. Always check that the pad diameter matches the disc size.
What is sanding mesh and when to choose it instead of paper?
Sanding mesh is a perforated abrasive on a mesh backing (e.g. CERAMIC D125 mm, SPECIALIST+ 225 mm) that resists clogging and allows dust to pass through. Choose mesh for better dust extraction, longer life and when sanding paint, filler or plaster.
What sizes are available — 114×102 mm, 115 mm, 225 mm?
The category includes sheets 114×102 mm (e.g. Sandpaper 114×102 K120), 115 mm round discs (ABRANET ECO 115 mm) and 225 mm discs (Specialist+ 225 mm). These sizes fit hand sanding and various orbital/palm sanders.
Is P2000 grinding paper suitable for polishing cars and furniture?
P2000 is suitable for final sanding before polishing lacquered surfaces on cars and furniture. After P2000 you should use polishing compounds and pads (for example the POLEERIMISKOMPLEKT 3TK E2610) to achieve a high gloss.
Do you have P1000 grinding paper and what is it used for?
Yes — P1000 grit sanding sheets and discs are available; they are used for intermediate finishing, removing fine scratches before polishing and preparing lacquered surfaces. P1000 is commonly used in furniture restoration and automotive prep.
What does ABRANET ECO 115mm x 2,5m P240 mean?
It denotes an ABRANET ECO sanding mesh/rule 115 mm wide and 2.5 m long with P240 grit. It’s intended for 115 mm sanding pads, providing good dust extraction and durability for finishing work.
How does Aurora grinding paper differ from other brands?
Within the range you’ll find lines like Ceramic and Specialist+; for 'Aurora' check the backing material (paper, ceramic, mesh) and grit. Ceramic abrasives generally last longer and cut more aggressively than standard paper.
Which is better for heavy work — P80 or P120?
For heavy material removal P80 is better as it cuts faster and more aggressively; P120 is less aggressive and suitable for initial leveling before finer grits. Use P80 for intensive removal and P120 for controlled sanding.
