Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Kovax Assilex Sanding Sheet P500 suitable for manual sanding of curved body panels?
Yes. The Kovax Assilex Sanding Sheet P500 is constructed with a flexible latex backing that conforms to curved and irregular surfaces. This makes it suitable for manual sanding of body panels where stiffer sanding sheets risk leaving uneven sanding marks. The 130 × 170 mm format is practical for hand use without a sanding block.
What grit and dimensions does the Kovax Assilex Sanding Sheet have?
The Kovax Assilex Sanding Sheet in this variant has a grit of P500 and dimensions of 130 × 170 mm. P500 is a medium grit used for pre-sanding prior to painting or polishing, as well as for levelling out scratches and imperfections in existing paintwork. The latex backing contributes to flexibility and precise material removal.
What distinguishes the Kovax Assilex Sanding Sheet from conventional sanding sheets with a paper backing?
The key difference is the backing material. The Kovax Assilex Sanding Sheet uses a flexible latex backing instead of a conventional paper backing. The latex backing provides better conformity to curved surfaces, more even sanding pressure, and reduces the risk of flat marks on curved body panels. The result is a more consistent sanding pattern, which is particularly valuable in professional refinishing and reconditioning processes. See also other sanding sheets for paint sanding in our range.
