Polishing Pro Offers New Backer Pad

Polishing Pro Systems offers the new patent-pending Zero° Burn Backer Pad for polishing natural and engineered stone. The pad is designed to save time and money, and is designed to make it virtually impossible to burn the surface—or even the edges of quartz surfacing. It reportedly turns an ordinary grinder or polisher into a multi-directional polisher. It eliminates the need for resin pads that are intended to reduce heat during the polishing process. The multi-directional action of this backer means that the harder you push, the tighter the elliptical passes become. The tighter the elliptical passes become, the more that heat is dissipated out of the backer, not the stone. This reverse heat transference that makes burning virtually impossible. The multi-directional action cross-cuts the stone with each revolution of the machine, which speeds up the polishing process. It also results in a tighter polishing pattern, which results in a higher sheen. It is available in both rigid for surface and bullnose polishing, and flexible for ogee or other edge polishing.
