class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes Granat different?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eModern varnishes, clear coats, paints and fillers can generate sanding residue that quickly accumulates around conventional abrasive grains. As the abrasive surface becomes clogged, effective cutting performance falls. Granat uses a special coating designed to help prevent this premature loading, allowing more of the abrasive surface to remain active and helping provide a long, productive working life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhat does P80 mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eP80 identifies a relatively coarse abrasive grit that combines useful material-removal capability with a more controlled scratch pattern than P40 or P60. It is especially useful for initial-to-intermediate preparation where the surface still requires levelling but is beginning to move towards finer finishing stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhen should P80 be used?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eP80 can be used after P40 or P60 to reduce deeper sanding scratches, or as the starting grit where the surface does not require extremely aggressive stock removal. Once the necessary levelling has been completed, the sanding sequence can continue with P100, P120 or another appropriate finer Granat abrasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eP60 to P80 to P100\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eA progressive sanding sequence helps refine the surface efficiently. P60 provides strong coarse preparation, P80 reduces the deeper sanding pattern while continuing to level the surface, and P100 begins the transition into more refined intermediate preparation. The exact sequence should always be matched to the substrate and final finish required.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhy use a progressive sanding sequence?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eEvery abrasive grit leaves its own characteristic scratch pattern. Moving gradually through suitable grit sizes allows each successive abrasive to remove the scratches produced by the preceding stage. This is considerably more efficient than expecting a very fine abrasive to remove deep marks left by a much coarser grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eFestool StickFix\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eStickFix is Festool's hook-and-loop abrasive attachment system. The abrasive sheet presses directly onto the compatible sanding pad or hand-sanding block and remains securely positioned during use. When the abrasive becomes worn or a different grit is required, it can be peeled away and replaced quickly without clamps or separate adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003e115 x 228 mm format\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe larger rectangular 115 x 228 mm abrasive format provides a generous sanding area for compatible Festool orbital sanders, making it particularly useful on larger flat surfaces where efficient coverage and consistent levelling are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eMachine or hand sanding\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eIn addition to compatible Festool RS-series orbital sanders, this abrasive is suitable for the \u003cstrong\u003eHSK-A 115 x 226\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-sanding block. This provides the flexibility to perform efficient powered sanding across larger areas and controlled manual sanding where additional feel, precision or accessibility is
