Montreal, QC — Walter Surface Technologies has announced the introduction of the QUICK-STEP XX to the companys QUICK-STEP family of sanding disks.

The Walter QUICK-STEP line features innovative products – including QUICK-STEP FLEX that boasts a very high removal rate along with QUICK-STEP BLENDEX which provides a very fine finish. The new QUICK-STEP XX complements those discs with an alternate product that fits in-between – combining both a high removal rate and a semi-fine finish. The new QUICK-STEP XX removal rate is twice as fast when compared to regular Velcro and PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) sanding discs and this new disc boasts an extra-long life, with at least six times the stock removal compared to regular sanding discs.

Designed for a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, appliances, and pharmaceutical, QUICK-STEP XX leverages exclusive Cyclone Technology, a high-tech blend of abrasive grains, and combines it with a special cooling agent to ensure cool cutting and prevent burning and distortion – allowing end-users to blend and finish more pieces in less time.

The QUICK-STEP XX  also features self-sharpening grains — allowing for a consistent high cutting rate throughout the lifetime of the sanding disc — along with an extra strong cloth backing designed to be resistant to ripping when catching an edge, unlike regular paper discs. Paired with an interface pad, the QUICK-STEP XX sanding disc offers greater flexibility, making it ideal for curved surfaces.

“For end-users demanding greater flexibility, added durability, and the ability to efficiently blend and finish more pieces more quickly and cooler than ever before, QUICK-STEP XX meets and exceeds these industry requirements,” said Jonathan Douville, Product Manager, Walter Surface Technologies.

The QUICK-STEP XX sanding discs are available now.
