It was for this reason that I started using the ScotchBrite 
sheets.  3M originally supplied both uncoated and abrasive-coated 
material (the latter marketed for metal finishing and automotive 
painting applications).  I have both, and it is not hard to tell the 
difference.  However, my stash is over 20 years old, and I do not 
know what 3M makes now (in particular, whether they still supply 
uncoated grades).

As others have noted, there are several sources of materials that are 
intended for air-filtration service.

Best regards,
