  What is the service life of resin polishing pads and how to improve it? 

 This is not a single question that can be answered directly. There are many factors that affect the service life of the polishing pads, such as diamond grade, hardness of polishing materials, diamond particle size and concentration, operator's use method, etc. But generally speaking, high-quality polishing pads can effectively polish for 100-200 hours. We already know that the above factors will affect the service life of the polishing pad. How should we improve its service life and when to replace it? This problem is solved. Let's analyze how these factors affect the life of the soft abrasive pad.

Factors affecting the service life of polishing pads?

□ The type of polishing material, whether it is granite, ceramics and other materials with higher hardness, or marble with lower hardness;

□ The working environment, whether there is sufficient water supply;

□ The quality grade of the soft abrasive pad;

□ Whether the operator's use method is appropriate;

□ The storage conditions of the soft abrasive pad; whether it is stored in a dry and cool environment;

□ The frequency of use of the soft abrasive pad;

How to improve the life of diamond polishing pad?

1. Avoid overheating of soft grinding pad during use.

 During the polishing process, soft grinding pads act on some hard surfaces such as marble, ceramics, concrete, etc. Due to continuous friction, heat will be generated. At the same time, in order to avoid speeding up the polishing work faster, rapid friction will cause the soft grinding pad to overheat, causing the surface of the soft grinding pad to wear quickly, thereby damaging the service life of the soft grinding pad.

2. Choose the right soft grinding pad according to different polishing surfaces.

 Different soft grinding pads can be used for different polishing materials.

1) Dry and wet grinding pads are often used for grinding and polishing of materials such as stone, ceramics, and glass. However, due to different use environments, water is not allowed in some environments, so dry grinding pads are needed. The main difference between dry grinding pads and wet grinding pads is whether water needs to be added during work. Due to the thinner working thickness of dry grinding pads and greater friction during dry grinding, their durability is not as good as wet grinding pads.

2) Floor renovation discs are used for grinding and polishing of some materials such as stone and tile floors that have not been repaired for a long time and have been weathered due to long-term trampling, friction, and weathering. Its working surface thickness is relatively thick, and its durability will be better, and its flatness is also better.

3) Concrete soft grinding discs are used for grinding and polishing of concrete hard materials. It has higher durability and better sharpness.

3. Use the correct use angle.

It depends on where you are grinding and polishing the polishing material, flat surface, curved surface or corner polishing. Choose the correct use angle to adjust the soft grinding disc.

4. Clean and store the soft grinding disc correctly.

In the process of grinding and polishing, it is inevitable to produce some debris and dust. After completing the work, these debris and residues and other materials should be cleaned up in time to avoid these materials accumulating and blocking on the soft grinding disc, affecting the service life of the soft grinding disc.

5. Use the angle grinder correctly.

Use the appropriate speed and pressure according to the equipment instructions to avoid applying extra pressure to the angle grinder. Higher pressure will reduce the glossiness of the grinding surface and increase the wear of the soft abrasive pad.

6. Avoid long-term contact of the polishing pad with water or chemicals to cause aging.

The service life of polishing pads is affected by many factors, from material hardness to cooling conditions. Every detail is related to efficiency and effect. Did you know that timely replacement of soft abrasive pads can also avoid surface defects? Scientific use and maintenance are the key to extending the service life.
