07A600 - Walter Blendex Heavy Duty Black Hand Pad 6x9

Heavy Duty Manual Surface Finishing

The Walter Surface Technologies 07A600 Blendex Hand Pad is a premium abrasive solution designed for manual surface conditioning, cleaning, and finishing applications. Classified as "Heavy Duty" and identified by its black color, this pad is engineered to tackle aggressive cleaning tasks that require more cutting power than standard general-purpose pads. It effectively replaces steel wool grade 2, offering a modern, synthetic alternative that eliminates the risks associated with metallic fibers, such as rusting and contamination of the workpiece.

Constructed from a durable, non-woven nylon web impregnated with abrasive grain, the Blendex pad offers exceptional flexibility. This allows the user to easily manipulate the pad to conform to complex shapes, curves, and tight crevices that rigid abrasives cannot reach. The open structure of the web is designed to resist loading, ensuring that the abrasive particles remain exposed and active throughout the life of the product. This feature is particularly beneficial when working on soft metals like aluminum or when removing coatings that would typically clog finer abrasives.

One of the key technical advantages of the 07A600 is its longevity and reusability. Unlike steel wool which degrades and splinters, the Blendex pad maintains its structural integrity even under vigorous use. It is fully washable, allowing operators to rinse out accumulated debris and reuse the pad multiple times, significantly reducing consumable costs. Suitable for use on a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper, this pad provides a consistent, uniform finish without altering the critical geometry of the part. It is an essential tool for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments where versatility and reliability are paramount.
