Technical Notes
6120 siafleece uses a mechanically coated nonwoven fiber structure that maintains cutting consistency as the disc wears. The resin‑over‑resin bonding improves durability and reduces fiber shedding during machine use. The Ultra Fine grade is equivalent to a gray nonwoven finishing disc and is ideal for ultra‑smooth surface refinement prior to painting, coating, or polishing.
Recommended Applications
- Ultra‑fine finishing and blending
- Final surface preparation before painting or coating
- Light polishing and cleaning
- Discoloration removal
- Surface refinement on metals and alloys
Suitable Materials
- Unalloyed and low‑alloy steel
- Non‑ferrous metals
- High‑alloy steels
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
Comparison Advantage
Unlike many nonwoven finishing discs on the market, sia 6120 siafleece discs feature a backing specifically engineered for use with grip (hook‑and‑loop) backup pads. This purpose‑built design provides:
- More secure attachment to the pad
- Reduced slippage during use
- Improved disc stability and control
- Longer usable life compared to generic nonwoven grip discs
- More consistent finishing results across the entire surface
This gives 6120 siafleece a performance advantage over traditional nonwoven discs adapted from hand pads or sheets.

SMSDistributors Expert Notes
The sia 6120 siafleece series stands out in the nonwoven finishing category because it is engineered specifically for machine use. Many competing nonwoven discs—such as Mirka Mirlon, Norton Bear‑Tex, and 3M Scotch‑Brite—are adapted from hand pads or sheet material, which can lead to slippage, premature wear, and inconsistent finishing when used on orbital sanders.
In contrast, 6120 siafleece discs feature a purpose‑built grip backing designed for hook‑and‑loop backup pads. This results in:
- Superior disc stability during machine sanding
- Reduced slippage compared to generic nonwoven grip discs
- Longer disc life due to improved backing durability
- More consistent finishing across the entire surface
- Better edge control when working on contours or tight areas
The Ultra Fine (Gray) grade is ideal for final surface preparation, polishing, and ultra‑smooth finishing. It produces a refined, uniform finish that is noticeably smoother than many competing nonwoven discs.
For shops accustomed to Mirlon or Bear‑Tex, 6120 siafleece offers a noticeable upgrade in both performance and longevity—especially when used on orbital sanders with grip backup pads.
