Festool Granat is a highly versatile professional abrasive developed especially for demanding \u003cstrong\u003eVOC varnishes, modern paint systems, clear coats and hard substrates\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its special coating helps prevent premature clogging by fine sanding residue, allowing the abrasive grain to remain effective for longer and providing an excellent combination of consistent cutting performance, durability and surface quality. The \u003cstrong\u003eP180 grit\u003c\/strong\u003e is particularly useful for fine surface preparation and refinement after intermediate sanding stages such as P120 or P150. It reduces the sanding pattern left by coarser grits and creates a smoother, more uniform surface before subsequent fine sanding, coating or finishing operations. Granat can also be used on repair compounds, fillers, plastics, acrylic and suitable mineral materials. Each sheet measures \u003cstrong\u003e93 x 178 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and features Festool's convenient StickFix hook-and-loop backing for quick, secure attachment to compatible sanding pads.

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 fine sanding residue that quickly fills the spaces between conventional abrasive grains. As the abrasive becomes loaded, fewer cutting points remain exposed and sanding performance begins to decline. Granat incorporates a special coating designed to help prevent premature clogging, allowing the abrasive surface to remain active for longer and supporting a long working life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhat does P180 mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eP180 identifies a fine surface-preparation abrasive grit. It produces a more refined sanding pattern than P120 or P150 while still providing sufficient cutting ability to remove remaining sanding marks and minor imperfections. This makes it particularly useful as surfaces move closer to their final preparation or finishing stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eWhen should P180 be used?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eP180 is an excellent choice after the main levelling and intermediate sanding work has already been completed. It can be used after P120 or P150 to further refine the surface, smooth suitable coatings and fillers and prepare substrates for finer sanding or subsequent finishing processes.\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 produces its own scratch pattern. Moving through suitable grit stages allows each progressively finer abrasive to remove the scratches created during the preceding stage. A controlled sequence such as P120, P150 and P180 can provide a more consistent result than jumping directly from a very coarse abrasive to a fine 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 and remains securely held during operation. When the sheet becomes worn or the next grit is required, it can simply be peeled away and replaced without clamps or separate adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eIdeal for demanding coating preparation\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eGranat is especially useful for painters and varnishers because modern coating systems can be difficult to sand efficiently with conventional abrasives. Its clog-resistant characteristics and broad material compatibility also make it valuable for drywall professionals, joiners and workshops working with fillers, plastics, acrylic and other suitable substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse P180 after P120 or P150 when you need a finer and more uniform sanding pattern before the next finishing stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eIf deeper scratches from earlier coarse sanding remain visible, return to an appropriate intermediate grit rather than trying to remove them entirely with P180.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFor an even finer surface, continue after P180 with P220 or another suitable finer Granat grit according to the material and finish specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAlign the abrasive accurately on the sanding pad so the complete 93 x 178 mm sheet is properly supported.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse effective dust extraction wherever possible to help maintain a clean work surface and efficient abrasive performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eAvoid excessive sanding pressure.
