sand paper 100 grit
100 grit sandpaper is a versatile abrasive tool that serves as an essential component in various surface preparation and finishing tasks. This medium-grade abrasive features precisely sized particles that measure approximately 140-150 microns, striking an optimal balance between material removal and surface refinement. The 100 grit designation indicates its position in the coarseness spectrum, making it particularly effective for intermediate sanding stages. The backing material, typically paper or cloth, is engineered to provide flexibility while maintaining durability during use. When applied to surfaces, 100 grit sandpaper efficiently removes material while creating a consistent scratch pattern that can be further refined with finer grits. Its applications span across woodworking, metalworking, and automotive finishing, where it excels at removing old finishes, smoothing rough surfaces, and preparing substrates for subsequent finishing steps. The abrasive particles are specially bonded to prevent premature separation, ensuring consistent performance throughout the paper's service life. This grit size is particularly valuable in the progressive sanding sequence, serving as an ideal transition point between coarser and finer grits.
