Abrasive paper is a finishing material made by bonding abrasive minerals to a paper backing. It is widely used to smooth, polish, and prepare surfaces by removing layers of material. Depending on the grit size, abrasive paper can handle both heavy material removal and fine finishing, making it essential for industries such as woodworking, automotive refinishing, metal fabrication, construction, and furniture production.

Uses & Applications

Abrasive paper is widely used across many industries and workshop settings. Common applications include:

• Automotive body shops – for paint removal, surface prep, and refinishing
• Wood finishing – sanding furniture, panels, and cabinetry
• Metal surface preparation – removing rust, burrs, and smoothing edges
• DIY sanding tasks – for both home and professional use

Whether for machine sanding or hand sanding, abrasive paper offers a practical and cost-effective solution.

Types of Abrasive Paper

We offer multi-product types and sizes to meet various sanding needs:

• Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Paper – Durable and versatile, ideal for wood and metal surfaces.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive Paper – Sharper grit, suitable for wet sanding and harder materials.
• Wet and Dry Sandpaper – Designed for both wet sanding (e.g., automotive) and dry sanding tasks.
• Fine and Coarse Grit Paper – Available in a wide range of grits to match different surface prep stages.

For more heavy-duty or flexible applications, consider our abrasive cloth products.

How to Choose the Right Abrasive Paper

Choosing the correct abrasive paper is essential for achieving the best results:

• Grit Size vs. Finishing Stage – Coarse grits (e.g., 40–80) are best for heavy material removal, while medium grits (120–180) suit general sanding, and fine grits (220 and above) are used for smooth finishing or polishing.
• Dry vs. Wet Abrasive Paper – Dry paper works well for wood and general surfaces, while wet abrasive paper (often silicon carbide) is ideal for automotive refinishing or applications that require water to reduce dust.
• Hand vs. Machine Sanding – Standard sheets are convenient for hand sanding, while machine-compatible sheets are cut to size for sanders, ensuring an efficient and even finishing.

If you’re unsure which type to use, our team at Sohadu Industries can guide you to the best option for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is abrasive paper used for?
Abrasive paper is used to remove material from surfaces such as paint, rust, or wood fibres during sanding, polishing, or preparation tasks. It’s commonly applied in woodworking, metal finishing, and automotive refinishing.

Is abrasive paper reusable?
It depends on the grit and application. Coarse-grit paper tends to wear out faster, while fine-grit paper may last longer, especially when used for lighter sanding.

What grit abrasive paper should I use for wood finishing?
For rough shaping, start with a coarse grit like 60–80. For smoothing, use medium grits around 120–180, and for final finishing or polishing, fine grits above 220 are recommended.

Which abrasive paper is best for automotive refinishing?
Silicon carbide wet-and-dry sandpaper is ideal for automotive applications. It can be used with water to reduce dust and achieve a smooth, even finish on paint and metal surfaces.

Can abrasive paper be used for both dry and wet applications?
Yes. Standard abrasive paper is designed for dry sanding, while wet-and-dry paper (usually silicon carbide) works well with water or lubricants to minimise dust and heat during sanding.

What is the difference between aluminum oxide and silicon carbide abrasive paper?
Aluminum oxide paper is durable and versatile, making it suitable for wood and metal. Silicon carbide, on the other hand, is sharper and better suited for wet sanding and harder surfaces like paint or glass.

Do you supply abrasive paper in bulk across Malaysia?
Yes. We supply abrasive paper to industries and workshops across Malaysia, with customisable options for bulk orders, repeat clients, and different sizes.

How do I store abrasive paper to keep it in good condition?
Store abrasive paper in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it flat or in its packaging to prevent curling or damage.
