FESTOOL STF 93x178 P80 GR/50 Granat Abrasive Sheets 93x178mm P80 50-Pack

What makes Granat different?

Modern 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.

What does P80 mean?

P80 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.

When should P80 be used?

P80 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.

P60 to P80 to P100

A 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.

Why use a progressive sanding sequence?

Each 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.

Festool StickFix

StickFix 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.

Made for demanding professional applications

Granat 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.
