Smirdex - 135sp Abrasoft Sponge Rolls

Smirdex 135sp Abrasoft Sponge Rolls

Smirdex 135sp Abrasoft Sponge Rolls are highly flexible foam-backed abrasive rolls designed for hand sanding curved, contoured and difficult-to-reach surfaces.

Combining high-quality aluminium oxide abrasive grain with a soft 4mm foam backing, Abrasoft conforms closely to the shape of the workpiece. This makes these sponge sanding rolls particularly effective for sanding corners, edges, profiles, curves and irregular surfaces where conventional abrasive paper can be difficult to use effectively.

The foam backing helps distribute sanding pressure evenly across the surface, reducing the risk of cutting through coatings or creating uneven sanding marks. This makes Smirdex Abrasoft an excellent choice for professional finishing, preparation and refinishing applications.

Flexible foam-backed abrasive

One of the key advantages of Abrasoft is its ability to adapt to the shape of the surface being sanded.

The combination of flexible latex paper and a 4mm foam backing gives these abrasive sponge rolls excellent flexibility, allowing the abrasive to follow curved and angled surfaces while maintaining consistent contact with the workpiece.

This makes foam sanding rolls particularly useful for:

• Curved surfaces
• Contours and profiles
• Corners and edges
• Difficult shapes
• Mouldings
• Automotive bodywork
• Furniture and woodworking
• Hand finishing applications
• Fast and consistent sanding

Smirdex Abrasoft uses special aluminium oxide abrasive grain to provide fast and consistent sanding performance.

An open-coat abrasive structure combined with a special stearate coating helps reduce clogging and loading during use. This allows the abrasive surface to remain effective for longer, particularly when sanding paints, coatings, wood and other materials that may otherwise clog conventional abrasive paper.

Key features

• High-quality aluminium oxide abrasive grain
• 4mm flexible foam backing
• Excellent adaptability to curved and contoured surfaces
• Helps distribute sanding pressure evenly
• Reduces the risk of sanding through the surface
• Open-coat construction helps prevent clogging
• Special stearate coating helps reduce loading
• Flexible latex paper backing
• Suitable for wet and dry sanding
• Ideal for hand sanding
• Can be cut or torn to the required working length
• Suitable for professional automotive, woodworking and composite applications
• Broad grit range for preparation through to fine finishing
• Ideal for hand sanding

The cushioned backing allows the abrasive to flex around the workpiece rather than forcing the surface to conform to a rigid abrasive. This provides greater control when sanding delicate contours and helps produce a more consistent finish.

For users working on vehicle body panels, furniture, profiles or other complex shapes, a flexible abrasive sponge roll can provide significantly greater adaptability than conventional abrasive paper.

Wet and dry sanding

Smirdex 135sp Abrasoft is also suitable for wet sanding applications.

Its semi-waterproof construction allows the abrasive to be used on a wet working surface, making the Abrasoft range particularly useful within automotive refinishing and other applications where wet sanding forms part of the finishing process.

This gives professional users the flexibility to use the same type of sponge abrasive roll across a wide variety of preparation and finishing tasks.

Automotive applications

Smirdex Abrasoft is particularly useful within automotive preparation and refinishing.

Its flexible foam construction makes it ideal for sanding:

• Curved body panels
• Plastic automotive components
• Corners and edges
• Primed surfaces
• Painted surfaces
• Difficult contours
• Areas requiring controlled hand sanding

Wood and furniture sanding

The flexibility of Abrasoft also makes it an excellent sanding sponge roll for wood and furniture finishing.

It can adapt around shaped furniture components, profiles, mouldings, corners and curved timber surfaces that can be difficult to sand effectively using standard abrasive sheets.

The combination of flexible foam and aluminium oxide grain provides controlled sanding while allowing the abrasive to follow the natural shape of the workpiece.
