Imperialβ„’ Wetordryβ„’ 01998 401Q Series Abrasive Sheet is a 5-1/2 in Γ— 9 in fine-grade sanding sheet, 3000 grit, designed for precision finishing on automotive panels. Its tubular construction with rounded corners and protective pads prevents panel marring while delivering consistent abrasive action across a wide range of substrates.

Compatible with ABS, aluminum, e-coat, plastic, primer, and steel, the sheet provides uniform coverage for delicate surface preparation and final sanding steps. The 3000-grit density offers fine finish control without excessive material removal, making it suitable for blend-out work and paint prep in body shop environments.

Handling requires eye protection and a respirator due to acute toxicity, skin corrosion, and respiratory hazards identified in the SDS (CAS 1333-86-4, 409-21-2). Use in a well-ventilated area and follow standard first-aid procedures for inhalation, skin contact, or eye exposure.
