Poly Strip Discs for Angle Grinders for Paint, Rust & Coating Removal

Union cleaning & stripping discs, commonly known as poly strip discs, are built for fast paint removal, rust removal & coating stripping on angle grinders without damaging the base metal. These are the discs trades reach for when grinding is too aggressive & sanding takes too long.

On real jobs, surface prep starts here. If coatings aren’t removed properly, nothing sticks. Paint fails, welds get contaminated & finishes don’t last. That’s why experienced trades use stripping discs that cut fast but stay controlled.

Poly strip discs use an open web structure that resists clogging, making them ideal for removing paint, adhesives, sealants & corrosion from steel, stainless & aluminium. Unlike grinding discs, they don’t gouge the surface, which means less rework &  a cleaner finish.

Across Australian workshops, construction sites & industrial maintenance crews, stripping discs are used daily for coating removal, rust cleaning & surface prep. Most operators run them with Angle Grinders, Flap Discs & Grinding Discs. After stripping, surfaces are refined using Sanding Discs, Surface Conditioning Discs & Polishing Compounds.

If you need coatings gone fast without damaging the material underneath, this is where the job starts.

Strip It Fast Without Damaging the Surface

Coating removal sounds simple until the surface gets damaged. Grind too hard & you gouge the metal. Go too soft & you waste time. Getting that balance right is where stripping discs make the difference.

Union cleaning & stripping discs are built to remove paint, rust & coatings quickly while keeping the base material intact. The open web structure keeps the disc cutting without clogging, even on paint, adhesives or softer coatings.

Across construction, fabrication, logistics & industrial maintenance, these discs are used where surfaces need to be cleaned properly before welding, coating or assembly. You’ll see them paired with Abrasive Wheels, Surface Prep Wheels & Grinding Wheels when full prep systems are in place.

With Same Day Dispatch, you’re not waiting when stock runs low. For teams running multiple jobs, Trade Support Solutions keeps supply moving without delays.

► Trade grade abrasives built for demanding Australian worksites
► Reliable performance across fabrication & maintenance
► Bulk supply options for workshop teams & contractor crews

Strip It Clean Without Damaging the Surface

Removing coatings shouldn’t damage the job underneath.

Union cleaning & stripping discs give you the control to remove paint, rust & buildup while keeping the surface intact.

Run the right disc, keep your pressure steady & move through prep work without creating extra steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Poly strip discs are used for removing paint, rust, coatings & adhesives without damaging the base metal surface.

Yes. That’s their main advantage over grinding discs, they remove coatings while preserving the material underneath.

Common sizes are 100mm, 115mm & 125mm, which match most standard angle grinders.

Stripping discs remove coatings & contamination. Flap discs are used for grinding & surface finishing.

Yes. They’re suitable for both, as they clean without gouging or embedding material.

Lifespan depends on pressure & material, but open web discs last longer because they resist clogging.
