Discs - Paper - Back-up Pads and Accessories
Norton manufactures a wide variety of back-up pads and accessories for standard and vacuum Stick and Sand, NorGrip, and individual paper discs. From low-profile or tapered back-up pads for dual action/random orbital sanders, adapters to convert your NorGrip pad to a soft polishing pad, disc roll dispensers, and  palm sanders that turn a standard hook and loop disc into a hand sander – Norton is there for your sanding job – from start to final finish.

Low-Profile Back-up Pads for Dual Action/ Random Orbital Sanders 

  • Soft density low-profile pads utilize 1/2" thick foam for fine finish sanding and offer moderate conformability.
  • Medium low-profile pads have 1/2" thick urethane foam for intermediate and finish sanding.
  • Firm density low-profile pads utilize 1/4" thick urethane foam for flash and seam removal.
  • Available with PSA or NorGrip faces.
  • Both designs are shock resistant and have a fiberglass backing plate with a riveted  5/16"-24 threaded shank for added strength and increased heat resistance. 
  • Also available with a standard 5-hole pattern for vacuum-assist sanding.

 

Tapered Pads for Dual Action/Random Orbital Sanders

  • Designed with medium density polyurethane foam and a tapered edge for conformability, these pads are firm enough for flat surfaces, yet soft enough for severe curves and contours.
  • Available with either PSA (vinyl) or NorGrip (hook and loop) faces in vacuum or non-vacuum.
  • The 5" and 6" pads are shock resistant and have a fiberglass backing plate with a riveted 5/16"-24 threaded shank for use on random orbital or dual action sanders.
  • The 8" pad has a 5/8"-11 threaded female hub.

 

Updated Foam NorGrip Interface Pads

  • Designed for use with our fine grit NorGrip sanding discs.
  • Improves both surface finish and cut rate.
  • Use with NorGrip Back-up Pads.

 

Polishing Adapter Pad

  • Converts your standard NorGrip pad into a soft polishing pad.
  • The foam adapter is 3/8" thick and is excellent for fine grits where minimal removal is required.
  • It is ideal for either flat or contour surfaces.

 

Updated PSA Disc Roll Dispenser

  • Norton disc roll dispensers feature heavy-duty construction and a rubberized finish to protect your product, as well as the finish on your workpiece.
  • These versatile dispensers are designed to accommodate any 5" or 6" disc roll or sheet roll.
  • They can be attached to a wall or stacked for multi-grit or multi-diameter operations.
  • Discs are individually dispensed and removed from the roll by a cutter bar.

 

Non-PSA Glue-on Back-up Pads

  • These pads require the use of manually applied disc adhesive, such as Norton No. 10 Disc Adhesive, to adhere paper discs to the pad.
  • A specially designed fabric surface permits even distribution of the adhesive, excellent holding power, and easy disc removal.
  • The pads are precision balanced, with tapered edges, and are ideal for flat and contoured surfaces.
  • 5" and 6" pads are constructed of epoxy-glass and molded urethane with a 5/16"-24 threaded shank to fit all popular sanders including random orbital and dual action.
  • 8" pads are made of thick molded polyurethane anchored to a plastic hub with a 5/8"-11 female threaded aluminum insert.

 

Adhesive for Non-PSA Discs

  • Available in tube form, this adhesive is specially formulated for holding paper discs to any back-up pad. 
  • Waterproof and heat-resistant, No. 10 adhesive is ideal for use on feather-edging operations.
  • For a more permanent bond, apply to both surfaces.

 

Universal Adhesive Solvent & Cleaner

  • Designed as a general purpose solvent, adhesive cleaner is ideal for removal of old or excess adhesive spill-over, grease, tar, oil and residual dirt.
  • Transparent and colorless, it is excellent for cleaning applicator guns, aerosol nozzles, brushes and tools, as well as thinning adhesive and sealer products as needed.

 

Disc Hand Pads

  • Hand pads eliminate finger sanding.
  • The 1" thick pad is composed of two layers, neoprene and polyester foam, for excellent conformability and softness, resulting in fine finishes.
  • The ultra- thin 3/16" thick pad is composed of a single layer of neoprene foam and is designed for maximum flexibility – producing excellent finishes.
  • Each pad has an elastic hand strap to hold it firmly in place.
  • Available with either PSA (vinyl) faces or NorGrip (hook and loop) face.

 

Half Moon Hand Pad

  • The unique half moon pad uses a standard 5" NorGrip disc folded in half, which adheres to the hooks on the pad face.
  • The straight edge of the pad allows the operator to sand corners, contours, narrow crevices and minute imperfections without over-sanding.

 

Ergonomic Palm Sander

  • The ergonomic palm sander is uniquely designed to be user-friendly, with finger indentations for the operator.
  • It quickly converts standard  5" and 6" NorGrip (hook and loop) discs and 6" PSA discs into a palm sander for finishing flat surfaces.

 

Black Lambswool Polishing Pads

  • Designed to repair clear coat finishes, these pads are 100% natural lambs wool which has the densest pile of any material.
  • They are well-balanced and more durable than conventional pads.
  • Fibers can be compressed and still recover their natural shape.
  • Because of the denser pile surface, these pads distribute and apply material evenly and consistently.
  • Available in 3" – 5" diameters with a 3/4" or 1" nap to attach to a NorGrip back-up pad.

 

Micro-fiber Cloths

  • Micro-fiber is a single fiber with a thickness less than a human hair that has been split 16 times and woven into various products.
  • The surface area of the micro-fiber product is increased over 15 times, creating millions of spaces between the fibers which trap dirt, grime or liquids, making this product one of the most absorbent materials.
  • Use the micro-fiber products dry for general cleaning.
  • To remove spills, stains or grime, lightly dampen the product for best results.
  • All micro-fiber products can be used with or without chemicals.
  • Micro-fiber products can be washed up to 300+ times without losing cleaning and trapping abilities. 
  • Clean often for best results.
  • They save you labor, time, and additional costs of multiple cleaning products and chemicals.
