Product Short Description

GC Abrasives Poly Clean and Strip Wheels are professional non-woven abrasive discs designed for fast removal of paint, rust, coatings, oxidation and surface contaminants from metal surfaces.

Manufactured with an open-web nylon fiber structure impregnated with abrasive grain, these wheels provide efficient stripping performance while helping minimize surface damage, loading and excessive material removal.

The flexible construction conforms well to flat, curved and irregular surfaces, making them ideal for weld cleaning, automotive restoration, metal fabrication and industrial maintenance applications.

Available in 4" (100mm), 4-1/2" (115mm) and 5" (125mm) sizes with multiple color options including Black, Blue, Purple, Green and Orange.

Product Description

Poly Clean and Strip Wheel for Professional Surface Preparation

GC Abrasives Poly Clean and Strip Wheels are designed for professional surface preparation applications where fast cleaning performance and controlled material removal are required.

Made from high-strength non-woven nylon fibers combined with abrasive grain, the open-web structure provides aggressive cleaning action while maintaining flexibility and reducing the risk of damaging the underlying workpiece.

Unlike traditional grinding discs, these clean and strip wheels remove unwanted surface layers such as paint, rust, coatings and oxidation without significantly changing the original shape or dimensions of the material.

The open structure allows removed particles and debris to escape easily, helping prevent clogging and maintaining consistent performance throughout the service life of the wheel.

Designed for use on compatible angle grinders, GC Abrasives Poly Clean and Strip Wheels are widely used in automotive repair, welding preparation, metal fabrication, shipbuilding, machinery maintenance and industrial surface treatment.
