Repair technicians love getting the final touches right and there is nothing like the hand finish for those delicate and difficult elements.
Norton has partnered with an Australian manufacturer to launch a hand sanding kit for the collision repair industry.
The five-piece Norton Starter Kit is designed to equip technicians with a versatile range of blocks for manual stages of the sanding process, from initial shaping to final surface finishing.
The core kit consists of four blocks crafted from Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This material choice ensures the blocks for small, standard, big, and long hand-sanding applications retain their softness and flexibility, allowing them to conform to panel contours with minimal effort.
The small, standard, and big blocks feature a speed grid to aid rapid material removal, with each size suited to specific tasks—from accessing tight areas to efficiently sanding large panels. The EVA long block is included for smoothing and shaping across longer, curved surfaces.
The kit also includes the Chromablock which is made from a highly pliable Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), this block is engineered to handle complex convex and concave shapes. Its primary application is for the delicate sanding of topcoats and clearcoats prior to buffing, assisting technicians in achieving a high-quality final finish.
Norton Block Starter Kit offers a practical hand-sanding solution for workshops. It provides flexible sanding for final touches and hard-to-reach areas, promoting greater consistency and efficiency through the final paint rectification.
But it is available for a limited time only.
