Our black polishing pad, measuring 406 mm (16") in diameter and 22 mm thick —also known as a strip pad —is the right choice when maximum material removal is required: removing old wax layers, thick care films, stubborn dirt, and complete stripping prior to resealing. As the most aggressive pad in our color system, it delivers uncompromising cleaning performance on robust hard floors. Available in a convenient 5-pack and compatible with all standard single-disc machines with a 406-mm drive plate. Direct from the manufacturer-importer at attractive prices—without any middleman markups.
⚠️ Important: The black pad is intended exclusively for use on durable hard floors (stone, concrete, PVC, linoleum, industrial floors). It must not be used on hardwood floors, varnished wood floors, or delicate surfaces —please use our white or beige pads for those surfaces.
Black is the most aggressive and strongest grade in our pad color system. The pad is made of extremely durable synthetic fleece with a particularly hard fiber insert, specifically optimized for strip applications:
With polishing pads, each color corresponds to a specific hardness level and application. Choosing the right color allows you to work more efficiently and protect the floor surface—or, as with black, achieve maximum material removal:
💡 Tip for floor restoration: After stripping with the black pad, you’ll typically want to polish with the white pad or apply new layers of wax. For particularly fine sanding between coats of varnish, we recommend our purple sanding pad with 320-grit.
Our 406-mm strip pad fits all single-disc floor polishers, cleaning machines, and polishers with a 16-inch drive plate. A selection of compatible machines:
As a manufacturer-importer, we produce our products in our own factories and ship directly to Germany without any middlemen. This allows us to offer premium quality at attractive direct-importer prices—strip performance comparable to that of brand-name manufacturers (Diversey TASKI, Vileda Professional, Numatic), but at significantly better terms. We already supply well-known specialty retailers in southern Germany—a clear sign of confidence in our product quality.
Black is the most aggressive color grade in the standardized polishing pad color system. This means: maximum material removal, strong stripping action, ideal for removing old care films and wax layers. The lighter the color (red → green → beige → white), the gentler the pad.
Never use on delicate or sealed wood floors, parquet, varnished surfaces, or soft materials—the pad will damage the finish and leave scratches. For these applications, our white, beige, or green pads are the right choice.
"Stripping" refers to the complete removal of old layers of protective film, wax coatings, or sealants from a floor—typically before resealing. By combining a black stripping pad with a stripping cleaner, you can remove even protective layers that have built up over several years in a single step.
When stripping, use an alkaline stripping solution (a basic cleaner or a specialized stripping solution). Allow the solution to sit for a short time before using the machine—the black pad will then effectively remove the loosened material from the floor. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward.
After stripping the floor with the black pad, it is “bare”—ready for a new coat of polish or sealant. Now apply a new coat of sealant and then polish it to a high gloss using the white pad. This creates a durable, glossy protective finish for the floor.
Strip pads wear out faster than cleaning or polishing pads when used aggressively. Rinse the pad thoroughly after each use—during stripping, it becomes saturated with loosened residue from the protective film. Replace the pad if the surface becomes heavily matted, worn out, or permanently stuck.
Yes, the strip pad is placed directly on the standard drive plate (with a bristle coupling or driver) of the single-disc machine—unlike sanding grids, which require an additional backing pad. Pads are usually held in place by the machine’s natural contact pressure or secured with pad-holder adapters.
Yes—black pads are ideal for preparing concrete floors before sealing. They effectively remove oil residues, old sealants, and dirt. For extremely dirty or dense concrete surfaces, a grinding grid may also be useful.
The 22-mm thickness ensures even contact pressure and a longer service life. Thicker pads can absorb more loose material during stripping and need to be replaced less often—making them more cost-effective for large-scale projects.
All polishing pads are in stock at our Taufkirchen warehouse (near Munich) and are typically shipped within 24 hours via DHL or Hermes.
