Klindex Elica Pad 5 (5000 Grit) 43cm

Description

The Klindex Elica Pad 5 is a 5000 grit, 43cm diamond floor pad used to complete the polishing sequence on concrete, terrazzo and natural stone floors. As one of the finest pads in the Elica range, it takes a floor already refined by lower grits and brings it up to a deep, mirror like shine, and it’s equally effective on concrete overlay systems such as Mapei Ultratop or Pandomo.

Key Features

• 5000 grit diamond floor pad for the final high shine stage
• 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 maximum shine and gloss compared to traditional restoration pads at this grit
• Deep, mirror like finish that completes the polishing sequence
• Fewer passes needed to reach a consistent, high end 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 finest grits used to complete the polishing sequence.
• What grit is used for the final stage of stone or concrete floor polishing? The finest grits, such as 5000, are typically used as the final stage of a polishing sequence, producing a mirror like, high shine finish after all coarser grits have levelled and refined the surface.
• 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 performs consistently across different site conditions.
• 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 texture, whereas a flexible pad such as the Elica 5000 grit contours to the surface and avoids this even at the finest finishing stage.
• 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, with 5000 sitting near the top for a mirror like finish.
