FAQ

A: Our concrete surface preparation tools are designed specifically for the concrete floor restoration professional as well as for quick removal of any materials. All bonding strengths (extra hard, hard, medium, soft, or extra soft) are available for all kinds of concrete or different coating removals. Two segment bar trapezoids are designed for thin mil coating removal, some mastic removal, and for the first steps in concrete polishing. We offer these diamonds in double bar and single bar segment design. Round segments are for grinding applications where a smooth profile is needed—they’re good for concrete polishing. The rounded edges reduce scratches and are excellent for the first steps in concrete polishing or staining applications. Full round PCD are designed with a large full round or two 1/4 round pieces of PCD for long life and aggressive removal of epoxy, elastomeric, mastic and glue removal and almost any other coating. The PCD scrapes and rips through epoxy or paint coatings without gumming up or smearing or marring the coatings. Diamond Cake and trapezoid will fit under all major planetary grinders. Configurations include single segment, double segment, arrow segment, and PCD's as well as custom designed segments. Medium Bond: For Medium /Hard concrete and removal of light chemical residue, paints Hard Bond: For soft abrasive concrete /mortar; This Harder metal bond segment gives longer life in abrasive applications Soft Bond: Softer bond offers fast grinding for very hard concrete Available: in 1 or 2 segment configuration. Grit Sizes: 6, 18/20, 30/40, 60/80, 120/150

A: For improving the efficiency to quickly remove stock and for increasing the Durable life of pad set significantly, we creates resin-metal-bond polishing pads, available from #30, #50, #100,#200 to #400, available both by wet and by dry. They are made with pregnant diamond metal chips with unique resin bond. They are heat compressed into a mould. This is a new kind of high capability pads. They can be applied to excellent fabrication of marble, concrete and granite . They are welcomed by our consumers with very much interest.

A: Floor Polishing Pads are designed for floor polishing machines to polish or restore or maintain for the floor of marble, concrete, terrazzo, granite. They are backed with Velcro, can be mounted on a rigid backer pad to fit on any floor machine. The high thickness provides extended life. Our hybrid bond floor polishing pads, available from #30, #50, #100, to #200, are for quickly remove stock with durable life. This is a vitally important innovation in diamond tools industry. Our high concentration of diamond resin floor polishing pads from #400, #800, #1500 to #3000 are made from heavy-duty resin with high quality diamond powder. Using our set of floor polishing pads you can make the floor glossy finish perfectly. They are available in wet and dry on request. Available in 3" and 4" diameter, thickness from 8mm to 12mm on customer request.

A: The faces of polishing pads are designed with straight or curved slots, so they could be bent or distorted freely. They are backed with loop Velcro so they could be attached to any of backer pads very easy. They are used for fabrication of marble, granite, ceramic, and other hard and fragile material, as well as non-iron metal. They are widely used to polish stone, porcelain profiles, tile floors, all kinds of table-boards and stone sculptures. Their working layer thickness is 2.5mm, 3mm or 4mm They are suitable for hand power machines with the power is 750W to 1500W that run up to a speed of 2000-10000 rpm. Flexible Polishing Pads attach to the Flexible Backer pads are used for grinding profiles or concave or convex surface as well as flat surface of stone, while attach to the rigid backer pads are perfect for grinding a flat or level surface like floor. The process procedure: the operator sticks the flex pad on a backer pads and screw into Arbor of a grinding machine, and then brings to bear some pressure to the machine to grind stone surface for five times come-and-go, at the same time, the operator must infuses water into the backer pad continuously during the operation. Then, the operator should change a finer pad. The grits of pads are from #50, #100, #200, #400, #800, #1500, #3000, and #5000 to white/black buff in turn.According to the stone's quality and operator's experience, it could be cut down or save some positions of pads. White buff is used for light color stones and black buff for dark color stones. Each of grit is easily distinguished by different color of Velcro and the grit mark on the pad. They are worked by water fed during the operation, so they are also called wet pads. Measly water is needed from #1500, to #3000. For the buff, only less water is needed to wet the stone surface. This would make more friction resistance, and enough temperature on the surface of stone. Then stone surface is easily to be wiped off because of intenerate caused by momentary high temperature. But the stone couldn't be grinded by dry with too long time or it will result in burning or pigmentation. If burning appears, the worker must do work over again from #200 at least, and if the pigmentation appears, it must be from #400.

A: Some special floors (e.g. hotel's stone floorboard) are not allowed to work by wet, so the dry pads are used. Ordinarily, the dry pads will not cause burning and pigmentation because of using the special resin to make the surface of pads intenerated and pealed off as well as to avoid too hot on the surface of stone. They are excellent for marble polishing. They can be used by wet as well.
