Flexi-Plast 60 Micron Self-Adhesive Aluminum Oxide Finishing Sheet – 8.5" x 11"

Smooth, prepare, and refine surfaces with Flexi-Plast micro-finishing abrasive film. This 60 micron sheet uses precision-graded aluminum oxide abrasive on a flexible polyester film backing, providing controlled cutting action and a consistent finish.

The self-adhesive backing allows pieces to be mounted to suitable sanding blocks, holders, or shaped supports. Its flexible film construction makes it useful on both flat and contoured surfaces, and the full 216 x 279 mm sheet can be cut into smaller pieces or strips to suit the workpiece.

Specifications

60 Micron for Surface Smoothing

The 60 micron grade provides greater cutting action than the 40, 30, 20, and 15 micron Flexi-Plast sheets.

This makes it useful earlier in a progressive finishing process when the surface requires more substantial smoothing or preparation before moving on to finer micron grades.

The precision-graded abrasive helps produce a consistent scratch pattern that can then be progressively refined with finer abrasives.

Precision Aluminum Oxide Abrasive

The abrasive surface uses micron-graded aluminum oxide for controlled, consistent cutting action.

Aluminum oxide combines effective material removal with durability, making this sheet suitable for a variety of sanding and finishing applications.

It can be used on suitable:

• Ferrous metals

• Non-ferrous metals

• Plastics

• Paint and coatings

• Wood

• Flat surfaces

• Curved and contoured components

Flexible Polyester Film Backing

Unlike conventional paper-backed abrasive sheets, the abrasive is supported by a durable polyester film.

The film combines flexibility with tear resistance, allowing it to follow curved and contoured surfaces while maintaining a consistent abrasive surface.

This makes Flexi-Plast useful for precision work where both flexibility and controlled surface refinement are important.

Self-Adhesive Backing

The self-adhesive backing allows pieces to be attached to suitable sanding blocks, pads, or custom-shaped supports.

Mount the abrasive to a flat block for level surfaces or use an appropriately shaped support when working on curved and contoured components.

The adhesive backing also makes it easy to create small application-specific abrasive tools from pieces cut from the full sheet.

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:

• Small finishing pieces

• Narrow strips

• Custom shapes

• Larger sections for broad surfaces

This allows one sheet to be adapted to everything from detailed bench work to larger surface-finishing applications.

Wet or Dry Use

The polyester film backing maintains its strength and flexibility when used wet, allowing Flexi-Plast to be used for both wet and dry finishing applications.

Wet use can help reduce abrasive loading and airborne sanding residue when appropriate for the material and application.

Progressive Surface Finishing

The 60 micron grade works particularly well as an earlier stage in a multi-step finishing process.

After the desired surface has been established with 60 micron abrasive, progressively finer Flexi-Plast grades can be used to reduce the scratch pattern and continue refining the finish.

For example:

60 micron → 40 micron → 30 micron → 20 micron → 15 micron

The exact number of steps needed depends on the starting condition of the workpiece and the desired final finish.

60 Micron vs. 40 Micron

The 60 micron version is coarser than the 40 micron sheet.

Choose 60 micron when greater cutting action is needed for initial smoothing, scratch reduction, or surface preparation.

Choose 40 micron when the surface is ready for a finer refinement step.

When using both, start with 60 micron and follow with 40 micron.

Frequently Asked Questions

What abrasive does this sheet use?
It uses precision micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive.

What abrasive grade is this version?
This is the 60 micron version.

Is 60 micron coarser than 40 micron?
Yes. Larger micron particles provide more aggressive cutting action, so 60 micron is coarser than 40 micron.

When should I use the 60 micron grade?
It is useful for earlier surface smoothing and preparation when more cutting action is needed before progressing to finer micron grades.

What grade can I use after 60 micron?
The 40 micron grade provides a logical next step when additional surface refinement is required.

Is the backing self-adhesive?
Yes. The self-adhesive backing allows pieces to be attached to suitable sanding blocks, pads, and shaped supports.

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

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

Can it be used wet?
Yes. The polyester film backing allows the abrasive to be used wet or dry.

Can it be used on metal?
Yes. The 268L abrasive system is suitable for finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Can it be used on plastic?
Yes. Plastics are among the materials suitable for 268L abrasive film.

Can I cut the sheet into smaller pieces?
Yes. The sheet can be cut into strips, smaller sections, or custom shapes to suit the workpiece.

Does a lower micron number mean a finer abrasive?
Yes. As the micron number decreases, the abrasive particle size becomes smaller and the resulting finish becomes progressively finer.
