5" & 6" PAD PROTECTORS

MIRKA Pad Protectors – 5" (99528) & 6" (9956) These premium 1/8" thick Hook & Loop (H&L) interface pads. ABRANET Pad Protectors USA – 5" (A0766) & 6" (A0767) Made in the USA, these durable 1/8" thick H&L interface pads  These protector pads fit between the hook surface of the backing pad and the loop surface of the sanding disc. The longer “J” hooks provide a stronger hold for Abranet® mesh discs, non-woven conditioning discs, and cloth-backed loop discs. When using open mesh discs, the abrasive material can eventually wear down the hooks on the protector pad over time. Replacing the protector pad is much more economical than replacing the entire backing pad. Product Features: ✔ Protects backing pad hooks from premature wear ✔ Maintains vacuum and dust extraction performance ✔ Stronger “J” hooks for improved disc holding power ✔ Works with Abranet® mesh discs and other H&L abrasives ✔ Available in both Mirka and Made in USA versions ✔ Ideal for sanding applications requiring dust-free performance Perfect for woodworking, automotive refinishing, metalworking, composites, and general sanding applications.
