Klindex Elica Pad 2 (800 Grit) 43cm

Description

The Klindex Elica Pad 2 is an 800 grit, 43cm diamond floor pad used to refine concrete, terrazzo and natural stone floors after the initial coarse restoration stage. It smooths out marks left by lower grit pads and prepares the surface for the finer grits ahead, and it’s equally suited to concrete overlay systems such as Mapei Ultratop or Pandomo.

Key Features

• 800 grit diamond floor pad for the mid stage of a polishing sequence
• Flexible pad support avoids the orange peel effect, even on softer natural stone
• 43cm diameter, suited to commercial floor polishing machines
• Fewer passes required compared to traditional diamond floor restoration pads
• Can be used wet or dry depending on the job and equipment
• Contours to floor undulations and lippage for consistent contact

Benefits

• Refines the surface efficiently, reducing time spent between grit stages
• Higher shine and gloss levels at this grit compared to traditional restoration pads
• Helps avoid a blotchy, uneven appearance on softer stone floors
• One pad suits both wet and dry workflows, cutting down on equipment changes

Safety Information

• Wear safety glasses, hearing protection and non slip footwear when operating floor machines
• Keep the work area clear of bystanders while the machine is running
• Use appropriate dust or slurry extraction and ventilate the area during dry or wet polishing
• Ensure the diamond pad is correctly fitted and machine guards are in place before starting
• Mark wet floors clearly to prevent slips during and after wet polishing
• Always follow the floor machine manufacturer’s operating instructions

FAQs

• What is a diamond floor pad used for? Diamond floor pads are used with a floor polishing machine to progressively grind and polish concrete, terrazzo and natural stone floors, with each grit refining the surface further until the desired shine is reached.
• What comes after the initial coarse grit in a floor polishing sequence? After coarse restoration work, a mid grit such as 800 is typically used to refine the surface, smoothing out any remaining marks from the initial grinding stage before moving into the higher grits that build shine.
• Can diamond floor pads be used wet or dry? Yes, the Elica pad system is designed to work in both wet and dry polishing methods, so the same pad can be used across different site conditions and machine setups.
• Why do some diamond pads leave an orange peel texture on stone floors? A rigid pad backing can bite unevenly into softer stone, leaving a bumpy orange peel finish, while a flexible pad such as the Elica 800 grit contours to the surface and avoids this even on softer stones.
• How many passes does a diamond floor pad typically need per grit stage? This depends on the floor condition, but pads engineered for higher cut efficiency, such as the Elica range, generally require fewer passes per grit stage than traditional diamond restoration pads.
