Glomesh Regular Speed Black Floor Pad (400mm) – Floor Stripping Pad
Efficiently strip away stubborn layers of old floor polish, heavy wax buildup, and ingrained dirt with the highly dependable Glomesh Regular Speed Black Floor Pad (400mm). In the commercial floor restoration sector, preparing a hard floor for a new coat of sealer requires aggressive mechanical action. Using worn or inferior pads leaves patches of old wax behind, completely ruining the finish of the new polish. This professional-grade floor stripping pad is explicitly engineered for total surface preparation. Designed for use with standard-speed rotary floor machines (typically operating between 150 and 300 RPM), the dense, abrasive fibers of the black pad cut deeply into old acrylic sealers, quickly stripping the floor back to its raw, clean state.
Manufactured by Glomesh, a highly trusted name in the Australian commercial cleaning industry, the TK400 Black Pad is built for durability and consistent performance. Measuring 400mm (16 inches) in diameter, it is perfectly sized to fit a wide variety of commercial rotary scrubbers and floor polishers. The open-web construction ensures that the stripped wax and dirt are effectively absorbed into the pad rather than simply smeared across the floor, while allowing the pad to be easily washed and reused. For facility managers and cleaning contractors undertaking periodic hard floor maintenance, these premium commercial floor pads are the essential, heavy-duty tool required for fast, effective, and reliable regular floor stripping.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:
-
Aggressive Black Stripping Fibers: The ultimate surface preparation. The black pad is color-coded universally for 'Stripping'. It features highly abrasive fibers designed to aggressively cut through thick floor polish and heavy dirt buildup.
-
Designed for Regular Speed Machines: Engineered for optimal friction. This pad is specifically constructed to operate efficiently on standard rotary floor machines running at speeds between 150 RPM and 300 RPM, ensuring safe and effective stripping.
