Aluminum Oxide Sanding Discs on Foam Backing from China
These sanding discs feature aluminum oxide abrasive grains adhered to a flexible foam backing material, ideal for contour sanding in automotive refinishing. They fall under HTS 6805.30.5000 as abrasive powder on a base of other materials (foam), cut to disc shape but not on textile, paper, or paperboard. The foam provides cushioning for smooth surface finishing without scratching.
