Klindex Elica Pad 4 (3000 Grit) 43cm

Description

The Klindex Elica Pad 4 is a 3000 grit, 43cm diamond floor pad used towards the end of the polishing sequence to bring concrete, terrazzo and natural stone floors up to a high gloss finish. Working from the refined surface left by lower grit pads, it builds strong clarity and shine, and it’s equally effective on concrete overlay systems such as Mapei Ultratop or Pandomo.

Key Features

• 3000 grit diamond floor pad for high gloss polishing
• 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 stronger, clearer gloss at this grit than traditional restoration pads
• High gloss, near reflective finish just one stage away from the final polish
• Cuts the passes needed to reach a consistent high gloss result
• 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 the higher grits producing a high gloss, reflective finish.
• What grit is used to achieve a high gloss finish on stone or concrete floors? High grits such as 3000 are used towards the end of a polishing sequence to produce a high gloss, near reflective finish after the surface has been levelled and refined by lower grit pads.
• 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 suits 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 and leave a bumpy orange peel texture, whereas a flexible pad such as the Elica 3000 grit contours to the surface and avoids this even at high gloss stages.
• 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 mirror like finish.
