Festool GRANAT STF D150/48 P180 GR/100 Abrasive Discs
At a Glance: Professional 150 mm P180 GRANAT abrasive discs with StickFix attachment and MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 49-hole dust extraction, supplied in a box of 100 for intermediate and fine sanding of modern paint systems, VOC clear coats, hard substrates, fillers, plastics, acrylic and mineral materials.
The Festool GRANAT STF D150/48 P180 GR/100 is a versatile professional abrasive designed to deliver reliable cutting performance, long service life and excellent dust extraction across a wide range of demanding finishing applications. With its 150 mm diameter and P180 grit, it is particularly useful for intermediate sanding, refining previously prepared surfaces and preparing coatings, fillers and substrates for subsequent finishing stages. GRANAT was developed specifically for challenging materials such as modern VOC varnishes and hard base layers, where conventional abrasives can become clogged quickly. Its special abrasive coating helps prevent premature loading, allowing the cutting grains to remain effective for longer and helping maintain a consistent sanding pattern. Combined with Festool's MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 system and extensive 49-hole extraction pattern, sanding dust is efficiently removed from beneath the disc, supporting cleaner working conditions, longer abrasive life and better surface quality. Festool StickFix hook-and-loop fastening allows discs to be fitted and replaced in seconds, while compatibility with a broad range of Festool 150 mm sanders makes this 100-disc pack an excellent everyday workshop abrasive for professional painters, varnishers, joiners, drywall specialists, furniture manufacturers and surface-finishing professionals.
GRANAT is Festool's high-performance universal abrasive developed particularly for modern paint systems, VOC varnishes and hard substrates. Its special coating helps prevent clogging and therefore supports a long service life, while the abrasive can also be used successfully on many other materials including fillers, repair compounds, plastics, acrylic and suitable mineral surfaces.

Extra Information
- What does P180 mean? P180 is an intermediate-to-fine abrasive grade in the FEPA P-grit system. It is considerably finer than aggressive material-removal abrasives and is typically used for refining surfaces, removing the scratch pattern from preceding coarser stages and preparing a workpiece for subsequent sanding or finishing.
- What does D150 mean? D150 identifies the abrasive as a round sanding disc with a nominal diameter of 150 mm.
- What does STF mean? STF identifies Festool's StickFix hook-and-loop fastening principle, allowing compatible abrasives to be attached and removed rapidly.
- What does GR mean? GR identifies the Festool GRANAT abrasive range.
- What does /100 mean? The package contains 100 individual abrasive discs.
- Why GRANAT for modern coatings? Modern varnishes, fillers and paint systems can generate sanding residue that rapidly clogs conventional abrasive paper. GRANAT's special coating helps resist this loading and maintains cutting performance for longer.
- Recommended for VOC clear coats: Festool specifically recommends GRANAT for processing modern VOC coating systems and hard substrates.
- What is MULTI-JETSTREAM 2? MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 combines specially arranged extraction and air-supply channels in the sanding pad with a matching abrasive system. This promotes continuous airflow and efficient removal of dust from the sanding surface.
- 49-hole extraction: The extensive extraction pattern provides numerous pathways through which sanding dust can be removed from the contact area.
- Why extraction extends abrasive life: Dust and coating residue trapped beneath the disc can block the abrasive grains and generate additional heat. Removing this material continuously helps the disc cut effectively for longer.
- Why extraction improves surface quality: Loose particles caught beneath the abrasive can create random scratches. Efficient dust removal helps maintain a cleaner and more consistent sanding pattern.
- Universal abrasive range: GRANAT is not restricted to coatings. Festool also specifies it for plastics, acrylic, mineral materials, repair compounds and fillers.
P180 is an extremely useful transition grit. It is fine enough to refine scratches left by coarser abrasives while still having sufficient cutting ability to correct minor surface imperfections efficiently. Depending on the material and finish required, P180 may be followed by P220, P240, P320, P400 or finer grades. Always follow the coating or material manufacturer's recommended sanding sequence where one is specified.
Pro Tips
- Use P180 after the major surface defects have already been removed with the appropriate coarser abrasive. This allows the P180 disc to concentrate on refining rather than heavy stock removal.
- Avoid making very large jumps between grit grades. Deep scratches left by a much coarser abrasive can take unnecessarily long to remove with P180.
- When preparing wood or filler for finishing, make sure the complete previous scratch pattern has been removed before moving to the next finer grit.
- Align the extraction openings carefully with the sanding pad to obtain maximum MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 performance.
- Use a suitable Festool dust extractor whenever possible. Better extraction helps both the abrasive and the workpiece stay cleaner.
- Use moderate sanding pressure. Excessive downward force can reduce orbital movement, generate heat and cause premature abrasive wear.
- Keep the sanding pad flat against broad surfaces to maintain a consistent scratch pattern and avoid edge marks.
- When sanding filler, do not compensate for a clogged abrasive by pressing harder. Replace the disc once it stops cutting effectively.
- For painted or varnished surfaces, follow the coating manufacturer's specified grit and curing recommendations before sanding.
- Inspect the surface under good directional lighting before progressing to a finer abrasive. Remaining deep scratches become more difficult to correct at later stages.
- Vacuum or wipe the workpiece between grit changes so coarse particles from the previous sanding stage cannot contaminate the finer abrasive.
- Keep unused discs flat, clean and dry so both the GRANAT abrasive surface and StickFix backing remain in good condition.
- For high-quality finishing, use a fresh P180 disc for the final passes rather than continuing with an abrasive that has become heavily worn or contaminated.
How to Use
- Confirm that the sander or hand-sanding block is designed for 150 mm StickFix abrasive discs.
- Assess the surface and confirm that P180 is the appropriate grit for the current sanding stage.
- Switch off and disconnect the sanding machine from its power source before changing abrasives where required by the machine instructions.
- Inspect the sanding pad and remove dust or debris that could interfere with the StickFix attachment.
- Centre the P180 GRANAT disc carefully on the sanding pad.
- Align the abrasive extraction openings with the corresponding MULTI-JETSTREAM 2 openings in the sanding pad.
- Press the disc evenly onto the StickFix surface so it is securely attached across the complete pad.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor where possible and make sure the hose and extraction passages are unobstructed.
- Select an appropriate machine speed for the material or coating being processed.
- Place the sanding pad flat against the workpiece and guide the machine smoothly with light to moderate pressure.
- Use systematic overlapping passes to create a consistent P180 sanding pattern.
- Inspect the workpiece periodically to ensure scratches from the preceding sanding stage have been removed uniformly.
- Replace the abrasive when it becomes excessively clogged, damaged or noticeably less effective.
- Remove all sanding dust before progressing to the next finer grit, coating stage or finishing process.
