It features a calcium stearate coating to reduce clogging and an electrostatic open-coated surface for consistent dust removal. The sheet is made from C-/B-paper with tough semi-friable aluminium oxide grits for reliable performance. It is suitable for various materials including wood, paint, coatings like varnish, filler, synthetics, and solid materials like polymers (Corian, Varicor). The hook-and-loop fastening system allows for quick changes and easy handling, making it ideal for use with hand-sanding blocks. This sandpaper offers up to 2 times faster grinding than standard paper due to its sharp grains and clog-prevention technology, allowing for faster and longer work without compromising results. The aggressive grain alignment ensures the sharpest side faces upwards, combined with a strong bond and coating for maximum speed and minimal clogging. Dimensions are 230 x 280mm with a G 120 grit.
The Bosch EXPERT C470 Sandpaper is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need efficient and fast sanding of wood and paint surfaces. Its key benefit is providing up to twice the grinding speed of standard sandpaper through advanced grit technology and clog prevention. A potential caveat is that it is intended for dry sanding applications only.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main advantage of the EXPERT C470 sandpaper?
The main advantage is its significantly faster grinding speed, up to twice that of standard sandpaper, due to its advanced sharp grit technology and clog-prevention features.
What types of materials can this sandpaper be used on?
It is suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, paint, coatings, filler, synthetics, and solid materials like polymers (Corian, Varicor).
Can this sandpaper be used for wet sanding?
No, the EXPERT C470 sandpaper is designed exclusively for dry sanding applications.
How does the clog-prevention technology work?
It utilizes a calcium stearate coating and an electrostatic open-coated surface that reduces clogging by preventing dust buildup and promoting consistent dust removal.
What does the 'G 120' designation mean?
'G 120' refers to the grit size, indicating a medium-fine abrasive grade. Lower numbers (e.g., G 40) are coarser, and higher numbers (e.g., G 320) are finer.
What are the dimensions of this sandpaper sheet?
The dimensions of this sandpaper sheet are 230 x 280mm.
How should I store the sandpaper?
Store the sandpaper in a dry environment to prevent damage to the adhesive and abrasive particles.
Troubleshooting
Sandpaper not adhering to the sanding block.
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces on both the sandpaper and the block are clean and free from dust or debris. Check that the hook-and-loop system on the block is functioning correctly.
Rapid clogging and reduced sanding effectiveness.
This can occur when sanding very soft materials or gummy substances. Ensure you are using the correct grit for the material. For certain materials, pre-tapping the sandpaper to clear dust may help temporarily. Consider if a different grit or type of abrasive might be more suitable.
Uneven sanding results.
Check for consistent pressure across the surface. Ensure the sandpaper is securely attached and that no foreign particles are trapped between the sandpaper and the surface. Verify the sandpaper itself is not damaged or worn unevenly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Significantly faster grinding speed compared to standard sandpaper.
Reduced clogging extends the usable life of the sandpaper.
Consistent dust removal for a cleaner work area and better finish.
Durable construction suitable for demanding tasks.
Versatile for use on multiple material types.
Easy to attach and detach with hook-and-loop system.
Cons
Intended for dry sanding applications only.
Each sheet is for single-pack use; higher grit counts may be needed for fine finishing.
May be more aggressive than needed for very delicate surfaces if the wrong grit is selected.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the surface to be sanded is clean and dry.
Select the appropriate grit for your task, from coarser grits (e.g., G 40-80) for heavy material removal to finer grits (e.g., G 120-320) for surface preparation.
Attach the sandpaper sheet to a compatible hand-sanding block with a hook-and-loop backing system.
Compatibility:
Tools: Primarily designed for use with hand-sanding blocks featuring hook-and-loop fastening.
Materials: Suitable for wood, paint, coatings (varnish), filler, synthetics, and solid materials like polymers (Corian, Varicor).
Application: Exclusively for dry sanding applications.
Care:
This is a consumable product. While the anti-clogging features extend its life, it will eventually wear out.
To maintain performance, periodically tap the sandpaper against a hard surface to dislodge accumulated dust.
Store in a dry environment to prevent degradation of the adhesive and abrasive particles.
