RODA Abrasive Nylon Hand Pads What Are RODA Hand Pads? Key Benefits Common Applications Choosing a Grade Where They Fit in the RODA Nylon Range RODA Abrasive Nylon Hand Pads are pre-cut non-woven abrasive nylon pads for manual cleaning, blending, deburring and surface finishing. They are a practical choice where you need a flexible abrasive that can be used by hand, folded around a profile, cut into smaller pieces, or used for touch-up work in areas where a powered tool is not required. Each pad measures 229 x 152mm and is supplied in packs of 10 pads. The pads are available in 8 abrasive nylon grades, from ultra-fine finishing through to heavier cleaning, blending and surface preparation. What Are RODA Abrasive Nylon Hand Pads? RODA Abrasive Nylon Hand Pads are made from non-woven abrasive nylon material. The abrasive is distributed through the web of the pad, allowing the pad to clean, blend, scuff and refine surfaces without needing a polishing compound. They are often used as a Scotch-Brite style finishing pad, but are supplied as part of the RODA Abrasive Nylon range, within the wider RODA finishing range made by Moleroda in the UK. Because the material is flexible, the pads can be used flat, folded, wrapped around a component, or cut down with scissors for smaller finishing tasks. Key Benefits of RODA Abrasive Nylon Hand Pads Manual Control Use by hand for controlled surface cleaning, blending, scuffing and finishing without needing a machine or rotary tool. Flexible Format Fold, bend or cut the pad to suit profiles, edges, flat surfaces, awkward shapes and small touch-up areas. No Compound Required The abrasive is built into the non-woven nylon material, making the pads simple to use for cleaning and finishing tasks. 8 Grade Options Choose from 8 abrasive nylon grades depending on the level of cut, cleaning action or satin finish required.

Always test on a representative area first, especially where surface finish, tolerance, coating adhesion or appearance is important. Choosing the Right Abrasive Nylon Grade RODA Abrasive Nylon Hand Pads are available in 8 grades, from UFS through to HDVCA. Choose the grade according to the level of cleaning, blending, cut or satin finish required. Finer grades are better suited to light cleaning, soft satin finishing and final surface refinement. Coarser grades are used where a stronger abrasive action is needed for heavier cleaning, blending or surface preparation. The exact grade can be selected from the product options above.
