The Alpha® Rigid Backer Pad is designed for applications that require a firm, flat backing to support consistent polishing results on stone, tile, and ceramic surfaces. Its rigid structure helps reduce surface waviness and distortion, making it suitable for straight edges, flat areas, and precision work where control matters. The pad provides a stable foundation for both shop-based fabrication and on-site polishing tasks.
