Klindex Elica Pad 3 (1500 Grit) 43cm

Description

The Klindex Elica Pad 3 is a 1500 grit, 43cm diamond floor pad used at the mid to high stage of polishing concrete, terrazzo and natural stone floors. It’s where visible shine really starts to build, refining the surface left by lower grit pads and setting up the floor for the final high gloss stages. It’s equally effective on concrete overlay systems such as Mapei Ultratop or Pandomo.

Key Features

• 1500 grit diamond floor pad for building shine after mid stage refinement
• 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

• Delivers a noticeably brighter finish at this grit than traditional restoration pads
• Builds a brilliant, even lustre ahead of the final polishing stages
• Reduces the number of passes needed to reach a consistent shine
• 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, moving from coarse restoration grits through to fine polishing grits that build shine.
• At what stage of polishing does shine start to build on stone or concrete floors? Shine typically starts to develop noticeably from the mid range grits, such as 1500, once the surface has already been levelled and refined by lower grit pads earlier in the sequence.
• 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, allowing the same pad to be used across different site conditions.
• Why do some diamond pads leave an orange peel texture on stone floors? A rigid pad can dig unevenly into softer stone and create a bumpy orange peel texture, while a flexible pad such as the Elica 1500 grit contours to the surface and avoids this even on softer stones.
• What grit range do diamond floor pads cover for stone and concrete polishing? Diamond floor pad ranges can extend from very coarse grits around 60 for grinding through to extremely fine grits around 10,000 for a high shine finish.
