3M Hookit Soft Interface Pads 150mm

Soft Foam Interface Pads for Improved Sanding Control & Contour Finishing

Soft foam interface pads designed to improve sanding precision, conformability and finish quality on contoured and uneven surfaces.
These high-performance interface pads are used between backing pads and abrasive discs to add cushioning and flexibility during sanding applications. The soft-density foam construction allows the abrasive to maintain consistent contact across curves, edges and irregular surfaces, reducing the risk of burn-through and delivering a smoother, more refined finish. Engineered for use with hook and loop systems, they attach quickly and securely, making them ideal for fast-paced automotive, marine and industrial sanding environments. The integrated hole patterns support effective dust extraction, helping to reduce clogging and extend abrasive life. By minimising vibration and improving control, they enhance operator comfort and overall sanding efficiency. Ideal for use with random orbital sanders, these pads are essential for achieving professional results in surface preparation and finishing tasks. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
