Black floor pads are the most aggressive pads in the standard floor pad color system. They are specifically designed for complete removal of floor finish prior to applying new coats of finish or sealer. Their aggressive construction quickly cuts through multiple layers of finish, reducing labor while preparing floors for refinishing.
These pads are commonly used with commercial floor stripping solutions on vinyl composition tile (VCT), terrazzo, sealed concrete and other resilient flooring. Their open web construction allows stripping solution and loosened finish to move through the pad, helping maintain consistent contact with the floor throughout the stripping process.
