Overview:

The Silverline 225mm Hook and Loop 40 grit Mesh Sanding Discs 855132 designed for fast stripping and heavy-duty surface preparation with improved dust control. Made with a silicon carbide coated open mesh construction, these discs help reduce clogging and allow better dust extraction through the sanding face—ideal for cleaner sanding on larger surfaces. The 40 grit grade is suited to rapid material removal, making it a strong choice for initial prep on wood, paint, varnish, composites and metal. Washable for re-use and built with a heavy-duty hook and loop backing, these 225mm mesh discs can deliver a longer working life than conventional sandpaper discs.

How to Use

• Fit the 225mm disc to a clean, compatible hook and loop backing pad

• Connect dust extraction if your sander supports it to maximise the mesh benefits

• If the disc loads up, rinse/wash it to clear debris and allow to dry fully

• Progress to finer grits (e.g., 80/120/180) after initial stripping for a smoother finish

Silverline 225mm Mesh Sanding Discs 40 Grit – Key FAQs

• What is 40 grit best used for on a 225mm sander?
  40 grit is ideal for aggressive stock removal and stripping, such as removing old coatings and quickly levelling rough surfaces before moving to finer grits.

• What’s the advantage of mesh sanding discs?
  Mesh discs allow dust to pass through the sanding surface, improving extraction and reducing clogging. This often means cleaner sanding and longer disc life than standard paper discs.

• Are these discs washable and re-useable?
  Yes. If the disc becomes loaded, you can rinse it to remove debris. Let it dry completely before re-fitting to maintain performance.

• Will these fit any 225mm hook and loop sander?
  They fit sanders that use a 225mm hook and loop pad. Always check your disc diameter and fixing type before ordering.

• Can I use these on wood, paint and metal?
  Yes. Silicon carbide mesh discs are suitable for composites, wood, metal, paint and varnish, making them a versatile option for prep and stripping work.

• How can I make the discs last longer?
  Use dust extraction where possible, apply light pressure, and clean discs when they load up. A sanding disc cleaning block can also help remove clogging quickly and efficiently.

You can extend the life of your discs by using a sanding disc and belt cleaning block this removes clogging simply and efficiently, see the complete Abrasives and Glass Papers Range.
