Oakey Liberty Green Sanding Roll 5m
Oakey’s Liberty Green sanding rolls combine industrial-grade aluminium oxide with a robust E-weight backing, offering exceptional longevity and versatility. Each roll measures 5 metres long and 115 mm wide, and is suitable for both hand sanding and machine applications (orbital, belt, and detail sanders). Designed to last up to 10× longer than conventional abrasives, these rolls deliver professional results on wood, paint, varnish, plaster, filler, and metal surfaces.
Key Features
-
Self-Sharpening Grain
Under heat and pressure, the aluminium oxide fractures cleanly to continuously expose fresh, sharp cutting edges. -
Anti-Clogging Structure
Proprietary coating and open-coating patterns minimize clogging from resinous coatings, fillers, and paint. -
E-Weight Backing
High-strength, flexible paper resists tearing, conforms to contoured surfaces, and holds fast in power tools. -
Extended Life
Engineered for up to ten times the lifespan of standard sandpapers, reducing downtime and cost per use. -
Versatile Compatibility
Equally at home on hand blocks as it is on orbital sanders, belt machines, and pneumatic tools.
Grit Variants & Typical Uses
Grit | Grade | Typical Use Cases |
---|---|---|
40 g | Extra Coarse | Rapid material removal, stripping old finishes, shaping wood/fillers |
60 g | Coarse | Leveling rough surfaces, removing paint/varnish, aggressive prep |
80 g | Medium | General-purpose sanding, smoothing filler, prepping for paint |
120 g | Fine | Final smoothing, between-coat sanding, finishing bare wood |
Applications
- Wood: Removing old finishes, shaping edges, smoothing joint filler.
- Paint & Varnish: Stripping layers, feathering edges, keying between coats.
- Plaster & Filler: Leveling patches, smoothing surfaces prior to decoration.
- Metal: Deburring, rust removal, surface conditioning before primer or paint.
- Composite & Plastics: Light abrasion to promote adhesion of paints and sealants.
Usage Tips
- Select the Right Grit: Start coarse (40 g/60 g) for heavy removal, progress to 80 g, and finish with 120 g for a smooth surface.
- Cut to Fit: Tear or trim the roll to the exact length needed—no waste, perfect fit on any sanding block.
- Hand Sanding: Use even pressure and long strokes to avoid gouges; flip or rotate the sheet frequently to expose fresh abrasive.
- Machine Sanding: Secure the sheet properly; keep the tool moving to prevent concentrated wear and swirl marks.
- Maintain Performance: Tap or brush off dust build-up; if needed, rinse with water (dry thoroughly before reuse) to prolong life.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use these rolls wet?
A: Liberty Green rolls are optimized for dry sanding. For wet-and-dry applications, choose a dedicated wet/dry product.
Q: What makes the grain “self-sharpening”?
A: Under frictional heat, the aluminium oxide fractures at the edges, constantly revealing new sharp points, so the abrasive cuts consistently.
Q: How does the anti-clogging feature work?
A: A specially engineered coating on each grain and an open-coat pattern prevent debris and resins from packing into the spaces between grains.
Q: Are these compatible with all power sanders?
A: Yes; the E-weight backing holds securely on self-adhesive pads and in clamp-on sanding machines.
Q: What surfaces should I avoid?
A: Avoid use on extremely delicate plastics, highly polished stone, or surfaces requiring ultra-fine finishing (use 240 g+ or micro-finishing pads instead).
