Cubitron™ II Abrasive Discs and Cubitron™ II Abrasive Sheets
Cubitron™ II Abrasive Discs and Sheets are based on a specially developed premium mineral for highest quality expectations in car refinish work.
These Cubitron™ II products lead to a finer and more uniform finish through a faster and cooler sanding process. Less pressure is required and the multihole pattern allows for optimum dust extraction.
Cubitron™ II Abrasive Discs and Sheets are available in various grades with a very thin, extremely flexible film backing that conforms effortlessly to tools and contoured surfaces.
-
Conventional abrasive minerals are variable in form and size as well as in distribution on the backing surface. The abrasives works irregularly on the surface and heat is generated, leading to shorter life of the abrasive product and reduced surface quality.
-
The patented, precision-shaped 3M Cubitron™ II minerals are evenly distributed and oriented on the abrasive carrier material, thus all are working onto the surface with the same intensity. The result is a maximised abrasion process with a fine, even finish and a cooler sanding process for long-life abrasives.

Trizact™ Abrasives
3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives are used in paint defect removal and refinement, they help to reduce compounding and buffing time. They consist of precisely-shaped three-dimensional pyramids, distributed uniformly over the surface of a disc. As these pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is constantly exposed, resulting in faster, more consistent cutting throughout the life of the discs.
-
3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives are available in a number of formats and sizes from small daisies over 75 mm and 150 mm discs.
P3000 and P6000 are ideal grades to be used in an efficient blending and polishing process.
