The 3M Niagara 7200N-13 Black Stripping Floor Pad (13") is the industry standard for heavy-duty floor stripping, designed for aggressive removal of old floor finish, sealers, and stubborn contaminants. Its durable, non-woven construction features abrasive particles bonded throughout the entire thickness, ensuring consistent performance until the pad is completely worn. Key Performance Features - Aggressive Stripping: Specifically engineered to remove two to three layers of old finish and heavy buildup quickly. - Open-Web Construction: The porous design resists "loading" and clogging, allowing stripping solutions to flow through freely for constant pad-to-floor contact. - Uniform Coating: Features a resin system that permeates the entire pad, so abrasive minerals are always exposed even as the pad wears down. - Eco-Conscious: Green Seal Certified for environmental innovation, designed to reduce solid waste by lasting longer than competitive alternatives. Specifications & Machine Compatibility - Diameter: 13 inches (330 mm). - Thickness: 0.75 inches. - Machine Types: Compatible with low-speed rotary and automatic floor machines. - Operating Speed: Optimized for speeds between 175 and 600 RPM. - Surface Compatibility: Ideal for hard-surface floors including concrete, vinyl tile (VCT), marble, and terrazzo. Usage & Maintenance - Application: Use with water-based floor finish stripping solutions to remove soiled finishes. - Cleaning Heavily Soiled Floors: Can be used with appropriate chemicals to scrub bare concrete and other unfinished hard surfaces. - Reusability: The pad is washable and reusable, helping to reduce overall maintenance costs.
