Flexovit FAQs

Is Flexovit suitable for professional use?

Absolutely. Flexovit is recognised as one of the world's leading abrasives manufacturers, trusted by professional tradespeople across construction, automotive, manufacturing, and marine sectors throughout the UK. Their products are engineered to deliver consistent, reliable performance that professionals depend on daily.

What's the difference between aluminium oxide and silicon carbide abrasives?

Aluminium oxide abrasives are tougher and more durable, making them ideal for general purpose sanding of wood, metal, and painted surfaces. Silicon carbide is harder and sharper, better suited for fine finishing work and achieving superior surface finishes, particularly between coats.

Can I use Flexovit hook and loop discs with any brand of sander?

Yes, Flexovit hook and loop sanding discs are compatible with any random orbital sander featuring hook and loop backing pads in the corresponding size (such as 125mm). Always verify the disc diameter matches your tool's backing pad before purchasing.
