Why
are there so many floor pads to choose from for performing floor
care services? Each pad is designed to produce different results,
depending on the procedure being performed and the type of floor
finish the pad is being used on.
All floor
pads are a blend of polyester and/or nylon fibers, which are bonded
together with synthetic resin and then impregnated with abrasives.
How agressive a pad is depends on the type of fibers and abrasives
used to make it.
The open web
construction of floor pads allows for greater soil removal and
easy cleaning. Pads can be used on both sides and then cleaned
under running water.
Conventional
Pads are for use with slow speed machines of 175 to 800 RPM. Ultra
High Speed Pads are for use with high speed machines of 1000 -
3000 RPM.
Manufacturers
colorize pads, which makes it easy to choose the right pad for
the job. The darker the pad, the more aggressive. For example,
black pads are used for stripping floors and white pads are used
for polishing floors. Manufacturer colors may vary.
