Specifications

• Manufacturer: 3M Automotive
• Model Number: 2344
• Grit: 320 (ANSI Grade)
• Dimensions: 9 x 11 inches
• Abrasive Material: Silicon Carbide
• Backing Type: Paper (A-Weight)
• Coating: Fre-Cut™ anti-loading stearate

Key Features

• Tri-M-ite™ Abrasive Technology: Utilizes durable silicon carbide mineral, engineered for consistent cutting action and extended product life across various surfaces.
• Fre-Cut™ Anti-Loading Coating: Features a specialized coating designed to resist premature loading and clogging from sanding dust and debris, thereby maintaining abrasive effectiveness. This coating also assists in dissipating frictional heat during sanding.
• Fine 320 Grit: Provides a smooth, uniform scratch pattern, making it ideal for achieving refined finishes and critical surface preparation.
• Standard Sheet Size: Each sheet measures 9 x 11 inches, ensuring compatibility with most manual hand sanding blocks and suitability for general-purpose applications.
• Optimized for Dry Sanding: Engineered for effective performance specifically in dry sanding applications.

Applications

• Automotive Finishing: Ideal for feather edging compounds, initial leveling of primers, smoothing glazing and spot putty, and preparing surfaces for primer or paint.
• Woodworking: Suitable for fine sanding of bare wood, preparing surfaces for stains or clear coats, and between-coat sanding of lacquers and other finishes.
• Metal and Plastic Finishing: Effectively finishes various metal and plastic surfaces, including light deburring and surface refinement tasks.
• General Surface Preparation: Useful for any task requiring a smooth, refined surface before subsequent treatments.

Benefits

• Achieve High-Quality Finishes: The fine 320 grit silicon carbide abrasive consistently creates a smooth, even surface profile, which is crucial for professional-grade painting and finishing results.
• Enhance Efficiency: Fre-Cut™ technology minimizes loading and clogging, allowing each sheet to cut longer and more effectively, reducing downtime associated with frequent sandpaper changes.
• Reduce Work Time: Consistent abrasive performance and resistance to clogging help to accelerate the sanding process, contributing to faster project completion.
• Versatile Performance: Effectively prepares a broad spectrum of materials, including automotive body panels, wood, and metal, for subsequent treatments.
• Improved User Experience: Reduced loading means less dust adheres to the paper, contributing to a cleaner and more efficient sanding operation.
