Scotch-Brite™ 7448 Ultra Fine Hand Pads – 158 x 224 mm Surface Finishing Pads 

The Scotch-Brite CF-SH 7448 pad is an ultra fine grey abrasive finishing pad designed for professional cleaning, blending, surface preparation, and finishing applications. The CF-SH 7448 abrasive pad features a flexible non-woven construction with silicon carbide abrasive mineral, providing a consistent finish without shredding, rusting, or leaving metal particles behind.

Professional Surface Preparation

Manufactured with premium silicon carbide abrasive, the Scotch-Brite™ 7448 hand pad delivers fast, uniform cutting action while maintaining a smooth, controlled finish. It is ideal for removing light oxidation, cleaning surfaces, blending scratches, and preparing materials before painting, coating, polishing, or finishing.

High Performance Finishing

The ultra-fine abrasive structure provides a superior surface finish that exceeds the performance of traditional steel wool. It is perfect for cleaning, masking, paint preparation, finishing, and blending applications on metal, wood, plastics, and composite materials. Unlike steel wool, Scotch-Brite™ pads will not split, rust, or contaminate the workpiece with metal fibers, making them an excellent choice for professional surface finishing.

Steel Wool Performance Without the Drawbacks

Designed as a modern alternative to grade 00 steel wool, these hand pads provide all the finishing performance without rusting, splintering, or shedding particles. This makes them particularly suitable for use on stainless steel, aluminum, painted surfaces, composites, plastics, and wood where contamination-free finishing is essential.

Versatile for Hand and Machine Use

The Scotch-Brite™ 7448 is extremely versatile and can be used directly by hand for detailed work, with a hand pad holder for improved control, or mounted on an in-line sander to quickly finish larger surfaces. Whether you're working in an automotive workshop, woodworking shop, manufacturing facility, or maintenance department, these pads provide reliable and consistent results.

Long Service Life

The durable non-woven construction is highly resistant to clogging, providing a long service life and maintaining a consistent abrasive action throughout use. Unlike conventional abrasives, the pad continues to perform efficiently without frequent adjustment, rotation, or replacement, helping reduce downtime and consumable costs.

Fast Cutting and Excellent Finish

The premium silicon carbide abrasive cuts faster than comparable aluminum oxide abrasives while producing an exceptionally smooth finish. It effectively removes oxidation, surface contamination, light corrosion, coatings, and imperfections without damaging the underlying material, making it ideal for cleaning, polishing, blending, and final surface preparation.
