The net mesh backing allows the maximum absorption of sanded particles, providing dust-free sanding (and therefore cleaner surfaces), where less time and effort is needed for cleaning, and ensuring a healthier working environment. They can guarantee better productivity and profitability by minimising clogging, potentially offering greater performance and a better surface finish.
