Scotch-Brite

3M Scotch-Brite Roloc Discs are non-woven abrasive discs designed for cleaning, surface conditioning, blending, deburring, and finishing. The open-web construction provides a flexible abrasive surface that can conform to contours while helping produce a consistent surface finish.

BAC offers Scotch-Brite Roloc Discs in 2" and 3" diameters and multiple grades for different levels of cleaning, conditioning, blending, and finishing.

Scotch-Brite Roloc Discs for Aircraft Maintenance

Scotch-Brite abrasives are useful when the objective is to clean or condition a surface rather than aggressively remove large amounts of material. They are commonly used for removing light oxidation, surface contamination, residue, and minor imperfections while providing controlled surface conditioning.

The Roloc attachment system makes these discs especially convenient for technicians who need to change abrasive grades or move between different surface-preparation operations.

2" and 3" Scotch-Brite Roloc Discs

Non-Woven Abrasive Construction

Scotch-Brite abrasives use a non-woven fiber web containing abrasive mineral. The open structure helps provide a consistent abrasive action while resisting the loading that can occur with some conventional coated abrasives.

The flexible web also allows the disc to conform to many surfaces, making Scotch-Brite useful for conditioning irregular areas, edges, and contours.

Common Aircraft MRO Applications

• Surface cleaning
• Removal of light oxidation and corrosion products
• Paint and coating preparation
• Adhesive and residue removal
• Deburring
• Blending and surface conditioning
• Preparation before painting, bonding, or sealing
• Fine finishing and uniform surface treatment

Scotch-Brite discs are particularly useful when controlled surface conditioning is required. Select the appropriate grade based on the substrate and the desired level of cleaning or finishing.

Selecting a Scotch-Brite Roloc Grade

Scotch-Brite Roloc Discs are available in different grades and levels of aggressiveness. A more aggressive grade may be appropriate for heavier cleaning or material removal, while finer grades are generally used for lighter cleaning, blending, conditioning, and finishing.

Because the abrasive is intended to condition rather than simply cut the surface, the correct grade can help technicians achieve the desired finish while maintaining control over material removal.

Roloc Quick-Change Attachment

Scotch-Brite Roloc Discs attach to a compatible Roloc backing pad. The quick-change design allows the operator to change discs efficiently while keeping the backing pad installed on the tool.

Always verify the disc diameter, backing pad, tool compatibility, operating speed, and manufacturer's instructions before use.
