Are these authentic 3M pads sold in the box?

I had the same thing happen that the other two answers mention - obvious non-scotchbrite pads were shipped instead of authentic ones to me (August 2020). I provided pictures of real scotchbrite pads next to the fakes as well as a picture of the generic bag they came in instead of the actual 3M box.

What is it made out of?

Hope this helps! National Wholesalers Made with Silicon Carbide Mineral This grey pad is filled with silicon carbide abrasive mineral, a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep. While it breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a superior finish.

Painting some metal parts. the paint manufacturer recommends 36grit sandpaper.would 7747 scotch-brite pads be good, or would something else be better?

The durable open-web construction of the Scotch-Brite™ Ultra Fine Hand Pad is load-resistant, offers long life and consistent abrasive action for cleaning, finishing, and buffing with no need to adjust, turnover, or continue the same project with a new pad.

Designed to run cleaner and longer than steel wool, this versatile pad is a useful item for any workshop. The Scotch-Brite™ Ultra Fine Hand Pad can be used right out of the box by hand, paired with a hand pad block, or run on an in-line sander for faster completion on larger areas.

Great no scratch

Well, if you use it properly, softly and slowly, it will do a very good job on removing oils from the equipment along with the paint thinner. The two make a nice duo for sure. No scratches left on the machinery and the parts. Just Right.

Great for brushing all metals and removing light corrosion

I use these on my cast iron saw table to keep it looking new and also in my hobby of restoring vintage hand tools. These are ideal to reduce a high gloss finish to a brushed look on any metal, including steel, and also as the final step to go from a brushed finish to a high gloss finish on a buffing wheel.
