The aluminum oxide is among the most common sanding papers. Under heat and pressure, the abrasives in these sandpaper sheets will break up. The breaking process creates new pieces of grit with sharp edges. Because of this "self-renewing" action, aluminum sandpapers have a longer useful life than others.

Silicon carbide is a harder grit than aluminum, making it a better choice for hard materials and rough uses like metal, paint removal, plastics and fiberglass. The silicon grit can break down like the aluminum, but wood is generally not hard enough to engender the process. Because of this, the silicon sheets wear out faster on wood than aluminum in some applications.
