How to Choose the Right Ironhead

Ironhead abrasives are built for the hard end of the sanding spectrum. When the job demands fast material removal, aggressive cutting on hard coatings, or heavy-duty preparation work, Ironhead's robust construction and hard-wearing grain deliver performance that outlasts standard abrasives.

What Ironhead abrasives are designed for:

•Down-to-metal sanding: Cutting through paint, primer, and filler to bare metal for full bare-metal refinishing
•Heavy filler levelling: Fast levelling of thick body filler applications without frequent paper changes
•Feather-edging large repairs: Aggressive initial cut for large repair areas before stepping down to finer grits
•Hard composite surfaces: Excellent performance on hardened coatings, GRP fibreglass, and industrial substrates

Key characteristics:

•High heat endurance: Fully resin-bonded construction withstands the heat generated by aggressive sanding without premature breakdown
•Strong backing: Resistant to tearing on body lines, edges, and rough surfaces
•Self-cleaning grain: Minimises loading on hard, abrasive materials

Grit selection for Ironhead sheets:

•P40–P80: Maximum aggression for stripping and initial shaping
•P100–P150: Levelling filler and primary surface preparation
•P180–P240: Transitional grit before moving to finishing abrasives

Ironhead abrasives are available in standard sheet format and ship Australia-wide from Melbourne.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ironhead

What makes Ironhead abrasives different from standard sanding sheets?
Ironhead abrasives use a heavy-duty, fully resin-bonded construction with high heat endurance — designed for aggressive applications where standard aluminium oxide sheets would degrade quickly. The robust backing resists tearing under high-pressure sanding, and the hard-wearing grain maintains cut rate longer on tough surfaces like hardened coatings, thick filler, and composites.
What are Ironhead sheets used for in automotive bodywork?
Ironhead sheets are used for the high-aggression stages of automotive bodywork: stripping paint to bare metal, levelling heavy filler applications, initial feather-edging of large repair areas, and sanding on hardened or difficult substrates. They are typically used in the P40–P240 grit range, before transitioning to finer finishing abrasives.
Are Ironhead abrasives available in Australia?
Yes. SPX Abrasives stocks Ironhead abrasive sheets for delivery Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse. Orders placed before 2pm AEST are dispatched same day.
