Alpha Ceramica Vitrified Polishing Pads are polishing pads designed to remove saw marks and grinding marks from stone surfaces prior to final polishing. These pads are used to establish a consistent surface condition on edges and profiles so that subsequent polishing steps can be performed efficiently.
The pads utilize a vitrified bond construction consisting of compressed diamond-impregnated pellets surrounded by a plastic matrix. This structure produces an aggressive cutting action required for removing difficult grinding marks while maintaining controlled wear and long service life.
Alpha Ceramica Vitrified Polishing Pads are commonly used on bullnosed edges, profiled edges, and curved surfaces, but also perform well on flat areas where heavy material removal is required. They are suitable for use by stone fabricators, tile contractors, and monument shops for surface preparation prior to resin or ceramic polishing stages.
