    Types of 5-inch Sanding Discs We Sell

    Red Label Abrasives produces a variety of 5” sanding discs. We’ve briefly outlined the different types of 5-inch sanding discs we sell below. 

    • Hook & Loop: Hook and loop sanding discs may also be referred to as velcro sanding discs. Velcro is a brand of hook and loop system, but all hook and loop systems work in about the same way. Hook and loop discs are slightly more expensive than adhesive discs, but it is easy to swap them out to change grits in a sanding sequence. 
    • Adhesive (PSA): Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA for short) discs have an adhesive backing that allows the disc to stick to the sander. Adhesive discs cost less than hook-and-loop discs, but adhesive discs cannot be reused. Once the disc is removed from the sander, the adhesive will no longer adhere to surfaces and can’t be reapplied to the sander. If you plan to use only one grit, you can save money with PSA discs. If you plan to swap grits, you might be better off choosing hook-and-loop discs. 
    • Waterproof Film: Film discs contain a plastic film backing that prevents the disc from being ruined by water. Our waterproof film discs can be used for any wet sanding application and are commonly used for automotive applications with wet finishing. 

    It’s important to note the type of disc sander you currently have. Your sander is designed out of the box to either support hook and loop discs or adhesive discs, but not both. You can buy converter pads to allow a hook-and-loop sander to use adhesive discs and vice versa. 

    What Abrasive Grain Should You Be Looking For? 

    Red Label Abrasives offers 5” sanding discs with three different types of abrasive grains: aluminum oxide, zirconia, and silicon carbide. 


    • Aluminum oxide: Aluminum oxide is one of the most popular abrasive grains, especially for woodworking. Aluminum oxide isn’t the strongest abrasive grain and will have a shorter lifespan if you’re sanding harder materials like metal.
    • Zirconia: Zirconia is a stronger abrasive grain compared to aluminum oxide and is designed for sanding hardwoods and metals. If you’re sanding harder materials, you can save money in the long run with zirconia sanding discs, because they’ll last longer. 
    • Silicon Carbide: Silicon carbide is a specialty abrasive that works well for very specific uses. Silicon carbide sanding discs are often used for sanding materials like glass, plastic, fiberglass, marble, tile, and leather. 


    If you’re interested in learning more about the different types of abrasive grains, we offer a more detailed breakdown in ourAbrasive 101 guide. Our abrasive technicians can also help you determine which grain would be best for your specific application. 

    How Do I Know If My Sander Uses 5” Sanding Discs?

    The easiest way to tell what size sanding discs your orbital sander uses is to measure an old disc if you have one lying around. You’ll want to measure the diameter of the disc to determine whether or not it’s 5”. If you don’t have an old disc available, you can also measure the diameter of the disc pad on the sander itself.
