We've made the backing heavier to extend the life and gone to a better "white" aluminum-oxide grain. This is the best stearate material you'll ever use, and the price is comparable to cheaper stearate products. These work best on sealer sanding, painted wood, scuff sanding, plastics, and even fiberglass!
AO is formed by combining bauxite and other materials by firing them in an electric furnace. The resultant mass is then crushed, and the pieces sifted through successively finer screens to assign a grit size (CAMI grading). When crushed, the resulting pieces are naturally pyramidal in shape. Due to the shape and the strength of the materials used in its making, AO is a very durable grain. The grain wears down during use, becoming finer the longer it's used. You can start at 80 grit, and after you've worked the abrasive for a while, you'll be sanding more like 100 or 120 grit. you may use a 120 belt on the first machine to do your intermediate sanding. When the cut for that application is no longer as sharp, the belt can be used for 150-grit application.
AO is very tough and durable, as stated above, and is used on bare wood, most metals (especially the steels), leather, and a wide variety of other materials. It is a great general-purpose grain and probably the most common grain seen today.

Warning: Some dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, or other activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, congenital disabilities, or other reproductive issues. These chemicals include Lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products, and arsenic from chemically treated lumber materials. Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks and dust collection specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
