OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Surface Conditioning with 3M Scotch-Brite 7447 PRO

The 3M Scotch-Brite 7447 PRO General Purpose Hand Pad sets the standard for surface conditioning in industrial environments. Designed to improve upon the legendary performance of the original 7447 pad, the PRO series utilizes advanced fiber coating technology to deliver a faster cut and a more consistent finish. This box of 60 pads ensures your facility is stocked with versatile abrasives capable of handling a wide range of maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks. Whether you are cleaning machinery, prepping surfaces for painting, or finishing stainless steel components, the 7447 PRO provides the reliability and performance professionals demand.

These 6-inch by 9-inch pads are impregnated with Very Fine grade aluminum oxide mineral, making them an excellent alternative to grade 1 steel wool. Unlike steel wool, however, Scotch-Brite pads will not rust, shred, or leave behind metal contaminants that could compromise the integrity of your workpiece. This makes them particularly suitable for use in wet environments or on materials where iron contamination is a concern, such as stainless steel or aluminum. The open-web construction resists loading, allowing the pad to maintain its cutting ability for longer periods, even when working on dirty or oily surfaces.

Flexibility is a key advantage of the 7447 PRO. The pads can be folded, rolled, or stacked to conform to complex geometries, ensuring that corners, contours, and tight spaces receive the same high-quality finish as flat surfaces. They are also perforated, allowing users to easily tear them into smaller sizes for specific applications, reducing waste and extending the value of each box. From scuffing before coating to general shop cleaning, the 3M Scotch-Brite 7447 PRO is an essential tool for any industrial MRO toolkit.
