The Kovax Maxfilm is a film-backed sanding disc with hook-and-loop attachment, developed to deliver maximum longevity throughout the entire sanding process – from sanding down to bare metal through to fine sanding of primer ahead of painting. The disc has a diameter of 152 mm, is equipped with 15 dust extraction holes, and is supplied in grit size 360.
The film-based backing is thinner and more flexible than conventional paper-based alternatives, providing closer contact with the surface being worked and preventing abrasive grains from embedding into the backing. The double anti-clogging coating contributes to a considerably longer service life per disc compared with standard discs.
The grit designation is printed on the top face of the disc for easy identification during work. See also more Kovax products for professional sanding in our range.
What is Kovax Maxfilm and why choose it?
The Kovax Maxfilm is a film-backed sanding disc that differs from conventional paper-based discs in that the backing is more resistant to moisture, delivers more consistent sanding results, and produces a more uniform surface finish. This is particularly important when fine sanding primer ahead of painting, where surface uniformity directly affects the quality of the paint finish.
The double anti-clogging coating allows the disc to maintain its cutting ability for longer, making the Kovax Maxfilm a cost-effective choice for professional use. Grit size 360 is suited to fine sanding of primer and preparation of the surface ahead of the next coat of paint.
