Norton Red Heat Q955 80 Grit Screen

- 100% Patented Ceramic Alumina (SG) Grain – Engineered with Norton's 100% patented Seeded Gel (SG) ceramic alumina grain — delivers an aggressive cut with the finest scratch pattern in the industry, dramatically outperforming silicon carbide and aluminum oxide alternatives in both cut efficiency and finish quality.

- 80 Grit – Medium for Balanced Cut & Finish – 80 grit is a medium cut that balances aggression with refinement — ideal for blending sanding marks from edgers and belt/drum sanders, between-coat abrading on demanding finishes, and intermediate-grit floor surface conditioning where a clean scratch pattern matters.

- 2-3X Longer Life Than Silicon Carbide – Red Heat Q955 screens last 2-3 times as long as silicon carbide screens — significantly lowers total abrasive cost per square foot and reduces screen changes mid-job, keeping crews productive longer.

- F-Weight Screen Backing – Tough & Shock-Absorbent – Ultra-tough F-weight screen backing is extremely flexible and shock-absorbent for performance in extreme conditions — handles uneven floors, board edges, and inconsistent surfaces without tearing or wearing prematurely.

- Finer Scratch Pattern – No Wood Burnishing – Produces a finer scratch pattern than silicon carbide, minimizing swirl marks and eliminating the risk of burnishing the wood — critical for stain-grade hardwood, recoat jobs, and floors with finishes that magnify surface defects. Always use with a screen driver pad to prevent slippage.
