Granat is Festool's 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 sanding residue, allowing the abrasive grain to remain active for longer and helping deliver dependable cutting performance throughout the life of the sheet. With its \u003cstrong\u003eP80 grit\u003c\/strong\u003e, this version offers an excellent balance between strong material removal and a more controlled sanding pattern than very coarse P40 or P60 abrasives. It is ideal for levelling, initial-to-intermediate surface preparation and refining surfaces before progressing to P100, P120 or finer grits. Granat also performs effectively 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 attachment for quick, secure fitting 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 around conventional abrasive grains. Once an abrasive becomes clogged, cutting performance falls and sanding becomes less efficient. Granat features a special coating that helps resist premature loading, allowing more of the abrasive grain to remain exposed and effective for longer.\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 provides strong material removal while creating a finer scratch pattern than P40 or P60. It is particularly useful for initial-to-intermediate preparation where the surface still requires effective 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 a starting grit where the surface does not require extremely aggressive stock removal. Once the required levelling has been achieved, the sanding sequence can continue with P100, P120 or another appropriate finer abrasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\t\u003ch4\u003eP60 to P80 to P100\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eA progressive grit sequence helps refine the sanding pattern efficiently. P60 provides strong coarse preparation, P80 reduces those deeper scratches while continuing to level the surface, and P100 begins the transition towards intermediate and finer preparation. The precise sequence should always be matched to the material 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\u003eEach abrasive grit produces its own characteristic scratch pattern. Moving gradually through appropriate grit sizes allows each successive abrasive to remove the scratches created by the previous stage. This is generally more efficient than asking 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 and remains securely positioned during operation. 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\u003eMade for demanding professional applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp\u003eGranat is particularly valuable to painters, varnishers, drywall professionals and joiners because of its ability to process modern paint systems, hard sublayers, repair compounds, fillers and a range of additional materials including plastics, acrylic and mineral surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip
