982C FIBER DISC 180 MM X 22 MM 3M™ CUBITRON™ II P60 CF 25 PCS

3M™ Cubitron™ II Fiber Discs 982C – Ø 180 mm x 22 mm

The 982C represents the pinnacle of 3M's "Premium Series" for working carbon steel (iron). Developed for heavy-duty industrial applications, this disc combines extreme stock removal capacity with unmatched longevity on large-format angle grinders.

Benefits and Exclusive Features

• 3M™ Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) Technology: Triangular-shaped ceramic grains are electrostatically oriented on the backing to form sharp peaks that act like individual cutting tools. The tips continuously self-sharpen as they break, maintaining consistent cutting potential and reducing frictional heat.
• Superior Efficiency on Large Areas: Thanks to the 180 mm diameter, it allows you to cover large surfaces in less time, offering a cutting speed and a lifespan up to twice as high as conventional ceramic abrasives.
• Reduced Operator Fatigue: PSG technology allows you to remove heavy material with significantly less sanding pressure, improving comfort and productivity during intense work shifts.
• Vulcanized Fiber Backing: The rigid, ultra-durable backing is designed to handle the most intense sanding applications, like heavy-duty weld grinding and high-pressure bevelling, without the risk of tearing.
• Cost Optimization: Longer disc life translates into fewer replacements and a significantly reduced cost per grinding.

Recommended Applications and Markets

The 180mm 982C disc is the standard in the heavy engineering, shipbuilding and infrastructure sectors:

• Weld Grinding: Rapid smoothing of large weld seams on carbon steel.
• Chamfering and chamfering: Accurate edge preparation on heavy sheets and profiles.
• Structural Carpentry: Removal of mill scale, mill scale, and surface imperfections.

Tips for Use

To fully exploit the potential of Cubitron™ II technology, use with 3M™ High Performance Ribbed Backing Pads (red) is recommended, which are essential to ensure proper fragmentation of the abrasive mineral under pressure.
