Flexi-Plast 15 Micron Self-Adhesive Aluminum Oxide Finishing Sheet – 8.5" x 11"

Achieve a fine, controlled surface finish with Flexi-Plast aluminum oxide micro-finishing film. This 15 micron self-adhesive abrasive sheet provides a fine finishing grade for smoothing and refining metals, plastics, and other suitable materials.

The flexible film backing conforms more readily to shaped and contoured surfaces than rigid abrasives, while the self-adhesive backing allows pieces to be attached to suitable holders, blocks, or custom-shaped supports. The full 216 x 279 mm sheet can be cut into strips, discs, or smaller pieces to match the size and shape of the workpiece.

Specifications

Fine 15 Micron Finish

The 15 micron abrasive is a fine grade intended for surface refinement rather than aggressive material removal.

SSP Steidle's comparison chart places 15 micron at approximately P1000, making this grade useful later in a progressive finishing sequence when the goal is to reduce scratches left by coarser abrasives and produce a smoother, more uniform surface.

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive

Flexi-Plast uses aluminum oxide, a hard synthetic abrasive grain suitable for fine finishing applications.

SSP Steidle identifies Flexi-Plast for fine finishing of various materials, including metals and plastics, making it a versatile abrasive for detailed bench, repair, fabrication, and finishing work.

Self-Adhesive Backing

The 268 L series features a self-adhesive backing.

Pieces can be cut from the sheet and attached to a suitable flat, curved, or shaped holder to create an abrasive surface suited to the particular job.

This makes it especially useful when standard sheets, wheels, or rigid abrasive tools do not match the shape of the workpiece.

Flexible for Shaped Surfaces

The flexible film format makes Flexi-Plast useful for working:

• Flat surfaces

• Curved components

• Contoured surfaces

• Edges

• Irregular shapes

• Small detailed areas

• Larger surfaces requiring consistent hand finishing

The material can be cut to match the job rather than requiring the workpiece to conform to a fixed abrasive shape.

Cut to the Size You Need

Each sheet measures 216 x 279 mm, approximately 8.5" x 11".

The full sheet can be cut into smaller pieces, narrow strips, discs, or other shapes depending on the work being performed.

Cutting only the amount needed for each job also helps make efficient use of the full sheet.

Progressive Micro-Finishing

Flexi-Plast is available in multiple micron grades, allowing surfaces to be refined progressively.

The 15 micron grade is substantially finer than 100, 80, 60, 40, 30, and 20 micron Flexi-Plast. It is therefore well suited to later finishing stages after the major scratches and surface irregularities have already been removed with a coarser grade.

For an even finer finish, a lower-micron Flexi-Plast grade can follow the 15 micron step.

Ideal For

• Fine surface finishing

• Scratch refinement

• Metal finishing

• Plastic finishing

• Jewelry and metalworking

• Precision repair

• Restoration work

• Flat surfaces

• Curved and contoured components

• Progressive abrasive finishing

• Detailed bench work

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this one of the finer Flexi-Plast grades?
Yes. The 15 micron version is considerably finer than the 100, 80, 60, 40, 30, and 20 micron grades.

Is the sheet self-adhesive?
Yes. The 268 L series is self-adhesive, allowing cut pieces to be attached to suitable holders and supports.

What size is the sheet?
It measures 216 x 279 mm, approximately 8.5" x 11".

How thick is the sheet?
The specified thickness is 0.3 mm.

Can it be used on metal?
Yes. Flexi-Plast is designed for fine finishing of various materials, including metals.

Can it be used on plastic?
Yes. The manufacturer specifically includes plastics among the materials suitable for Flexi-Plast finishing.

Can I cut the sheet into smaller pieces?
Yes. The sheet can be cut into strips, smaller pieces, or shapes appropriate for the work being performed.

Can I use it as part of a progressive finishing process?
Yes. Flexi-Plast is available in multiple micron grades so you can progress from coarser grades to finer grades as the surface becomes smoother.
