Understanding the differences between MBX® belts is essential for selecting the appropriate tool for your surface preparation tasks. Below is a comparison chart detailing the various MBX® belts, their specifications, and suitable applications

Belt Type	Width	Material	Coarseness	Color Band	Applications
MBX® Coarse Black	11mm	Steel	Coarse	Black	Ideal for removing underseal, thick coatings, and heavy rust. Suitable for aggressive surface preparation.
MBX® Coarse Black	23mm	Steel	Coarse	Black	Suitable for larger areas requiring removal of underseal, thick coatings, and heavy rust.
MBX® Medium Ochre	11mm	Steel	Medium	Ochre	Effective for rust removal and general surface cleaning tasks.
MBX® Medium Ochre	23mm	Steel	Medium	Ochre	Ideal for rust removal on larger surfaces, providing efficient cleaning.
MBX® Fine Green	11mm	Steel	Fine	Green	Designed for paint removal and fine surface preparation, minimizing substrate damage.
MBX® Fine Green	23mm	Steel	Fine	Green	Suitable for paint removal on larger areas, ensuring delicate surface treatment.
MBX® Stainless Blue Coarse	11mm	Stainless Steel	Coarse	Blue	Specifically for aluminum and stainless steel surfaces; removes coatings and rust without contamination.
MBX® Stainless Blue Coarse	23mm	Stainless Steel	Coarse	Blue	Ideal for larger non-ferrous surfaces, ensuring efficient coating and rust removal.
MBX® Stainless Blue Fine	11mm	Stainless Steel	Fine	Blue	Suitable for delicate cleaning of aluminum and stainless steel, removing light oxidation and coatings.
MBX® Stainless Blue Fine	23mm	Stainless Steel	Fine	Blue	Designed for fine surface preparation on larger non-ferrous surfaces, ensuring minimal abrasion.

Key Considerations:

Width Selection: Choose 11 mm belts for detailed work and hard-to-reach areas; opt for 23 mm belts for broader surface coverage.
Material Compatibility: Use stainless steel belts (Blue) for non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel to prevent contamination.
Coarseness Level: Select coarse belts (Black) for heavy-duty removal, medium (Ochre) for general cleaning, and fine (Green) for delicate surface preparation.
