MIRKA Pad Protectors – 5" (99528) & 6" (9956)
These premium 1/8" thick Hook & Loop (H&L) interface pads.

ABRANET Pad Protectors USA – 5" (A0766) & 6" (A0767)
Made in the USA, these durable 1/8" thick H&L interface pads 

These protector pads fit between the hook surface of the backing pad and the loop surface of the sanding disc. The longer “J” hooks provide a stronger hold for Abranet® mesh discs, non-woven conditioning discs, and cloth-backed loop discs.

When using open mesh discs, the abrasive material can eventually wear down the hooks on the protector pad over time. Replacing the protector pad is much more economical than replacing the entire backing pad.

Product Features:
✔ Protects backing pad hooks from premature wear
✔ Maintains vacuum and dust extraction performance
✔ Stronger “J” hooks for improved disc holding power
✔ Works with Abranet® mesh discs and other H&L abrasives
✔ Available in both Mirka and Made in USA versions
✔ Ideal for sanding applications requiring dust-free performance

Perfect for woodworking, automotive refinishing, metalworking, composites, and general sanding applications.

Mia ★★★★★

Swapped these onto my 6" sander and the hook and loop still grabs tight after a dozen pads. The interface layer saved my backing plate from getting chewed up on a rough sanding job.

Owen Y. ★★★★★

These interface pads saved my hook and loop backing plate from getting chewed up after just a few sanding sessions. The 1/8" thickness feels substantial and holds the discs flat without adding any wobble. I've been running the 6" one on my random orbit sander for a couple weeks now and it's still go

Jacob P. ★★★★★

Bought the 5" version to back my sanding discs and the hook and loop grabs tight every time. After a few weeks of daily use the interface layer is still flat, no curling at the edges.
