We all know that there are many polishing pads with various performances and prices on the market. Most customers must be confused about how to choose high-quality diamond polishing pads. So here are some tips for choosing diamond polishing pads.
There are many factors that affect the performance of diamond polishing pads.
★ The first thing we need to pay attention to is the material. What material are you polishing? The most commonly used stone materials include granite, marble, quartz, etc. Another thing we need to know is that if the wrong polishing pad is used, the stone may be seriously damaged. For example, granite grinding pads are suitable for hard stones such as granite, and marble grinding pads are suitable for softer marble materials.
★ The color of the stone you are polishing, is it dark or light? Since the polishing pad will penetrate and leave marks on the stone countertop during the polishing process, the color of the diamond polishing pad is also a factor we need to consider. For example, dark-colored stones require dark-colored polishing pads. Light-colored stones use white polishing pads.
★ The size of the polishing pad. Most diamond polishing pads on the market range in size from 3 inches to 7 inches, and the most commonly used general size is 4 inches or 5 inches. You can also choose the size of the polishing pad according to the size of the material you are polishing.
★ Thickness and flexibility of the polishing pad. The thickness of the polishing pad is closely related to its life and flexibility. The thicker the pads, the longer its life. Thinner polishing pads are more flexible and can be used for polishing corners and contours. So when choosing the thickness of the diamond polishing pads, you need to consider the effect you want to achieve.
★ Dry or wet use. Polishing pads can be used in three environments: the first is only dry use, the second is only wet use, and the third can be used wet and dry. Different methods of use have different advantages. Wet use has better polishing effect and can reduce wear; dry use is convenient to use and has different environmental restrictions.
★ Steps number. More steps means denser diamond grains, more delicate luster, and better polishing effect, but it also means it will take more time. If you are not so picky about the polishing effect, you can choose a three-step soft abrasive disc, which can meet your needs and save polishing time.
When choosing a diamond polishing pad, you need to consider the size, grit, type of material being polished, and applicable working environment of the polishing pad, which will affect its polishing effect and service life.
