About products and suppliers

An abrasive paper is a sheet of paper or cloth coated with abrasive materials such as emery, pumice, or sand. The emery cloth and abrasive sandpapers come in grit sizes ranging from extra fine to very coarse. While emery cloth and sandpaper are all abrasive papers, you shouldn’t buy them interchangeably. Emery cloth is coated with a dark-colored rock with traces of iron compounds. The cloth works well with metals, and using it on wood may cause contamination. Sandpaper, on the other hand, is used on both wood and metals by DIYers and painters. Unfortunately, it is less durable than fine emery clothes.

What are the uses of wet and dry sandpapers?

Made from extra fine sand, wet sandpaper is used with a lubricant such as water to smoothen surfaces rather than remove materials. In other words, it is a go-to solution for final finishes and painting works. But as preserving as it may be, avoid wet sandpaper on wooden surfaces. The surfaces will absorb the lubricant and start rotting.

If you want to remove thick layers of debris from a rough surface, you need high-quality dry sandpapers. The abrasive sandpaper comes in extra coarse grit, which is good for leveling rough lumber and walls. Fine-grit dry sandpaper, on the other hand, is used to remove paint on car bodies, for restoration works, and to remove lines left behind by coarse-grit sandpaper.

What are the different types of sandpapers available for wholesale?

Online stores provide sheets, belts, wheels, and rolls of sandpapers. Belts and wheels are heavy-duty, customizable abrasive materials designed for belt and orbital sanders, respectively. Sheets and rolls are slightly different in that you can cut both into smaller sizes for resale in hardware stores or use them for your construction project. Visit Alibaba.com to get rolls and sheets of sanders cheaply.
