Factors Needed When Choosing Diamond Polishing Pad

The ultimate way to achieve the perfect shine for your concrete countertops and edges is to use diamond polishing pads. And to select the right diamond polishing pad is very important to get the good finish that you desire for your concrete slab. Several factors help choose the kind of diamond polishing pad required. Whether the material is stone or concrete, whether polishing is required on the edges or on the flat surface, whether wet polishing is needed or dry polishing is needed.

Diamond polishing pads are available from a typical 3-inch pad to 7-inches size. A good one, however, is a 4-inch or 5-inch diamond polishing pad as it is stable on most flat surfaces and covers a proportionate area. While a smaller sized polishing pad is easiest to work with as it can be used in intricate areas because of its small size, a large diameter pad has its own uses. But, it is the 5 inch diamond polishing pads that is known for larger area polishing. Flexible Polishing Pads
The points to consider while choosing diamond polishing pads are:
Diamond count
A polishing pad with higher diamond concentration and better quality diamond though costlier is a good choice.

Binder hardness
The binder that binds the diamonds in a polishing pad are equally important as they determine the longevity and performance of the pad. Ceramic binders work better than resin binders as they can withstand high temperature.

Concrete type
While there are many polishing pads that work on all types of concrete, yet there are some that are specifically designed to polish a certain kind of stone.

Flexible or rigid pads required
Depending on whether one needs to polish flat surfaces or round shaped edges. A flexible polishing pad is chosen if one needs to polish both types.

Wet or dry polishing
While wet polishing is preferred over dry polishing for its better finish and economical value, yet at times due to the squirmy site that it creates, dry polishing is often taken as the recourse.

Size of pad
Whether choosing a 3-inch, 4-inches, 5-inches, 6-inches or 7 inches pad, it all depends on the requirement as per the given area that one has to polish. While a smaller polishing pad can reach even the intricate areas, larger dimension polishing pads are better on large areas as they can be stable on them.

How to renovate the old cement floor

Image
  How to renovate the old cement floor: 1. Use a professional floor grinder , install the grinding disc , and grind the ground . Remove all the sand from the surface to reveal smooth and firm aggregates. 2. With the sealing curing agent, sprinkle it on the ground, let it fully absorb until it is saturated, which can increase the strength of the cement floor. 3. If the cracking of the cement floor is serious, first roughen the floor, and then rinse the floor with a water gun. 1. Construction joints shall not be left in the laying of the cement concrete surface. When the construction gap exceeds the allowable time, the joints should be treated. If the concrete floor is seriously sanded and ash, the water grinding machine should be installed with a diamond grinding block first. The purpose is to smooth the ground, remove the glue, paint, plain cement slurry and other attachments on the ground, and then assemble the diamond grinding block with a water grinder to grind the ground to

The Origin and Evolution Process of Concrete Floor

Image
Concrete floor  is a kind of integral ground that uses cement and stone particles as the main material. In the course of China 's ground development, it has successively experienced such forms as   terrazzo floor , fair-faced concrete floor ,   and colored wear-resistant floor . Still fashionable terrazzo floor Terrazzo has the strength, wear resistance and durability of natural stone, and it is smooth, easy to clean, and good integrity. As the indoor floor of a large number of public buildings, it is practical and beautiful. The new type of terrazzo has new developments in color and pattern. The decorative effect can meet the modern aesthetic needs, and it can also meet the requirements of environmental protection. It is safe and non-toxic, does not release harmful substances such as benzene, formaldehyde, and has no radioactivity. In addition, compared with building materials with similar effects, decoration investment can be saved by 2/3. Many universities and hospitals use terr

Grinding Features

Image
Grinding is a method of cutting a workpiece with a grinding wheel as a cutting tool on a grinding machine. The features of this method are: (1) Since the abrasive grains of the grinding wheel have high hardness and heat resistance, grinding can process materials with high hardness, such as hardened steel and cemented carbide. (2) The characteristics of the grinding wheel and the grinding machine determine that the grinding process system can perform uniform micro-cutting, generally ap=0.001 ～ 0.005mm; the grinding speed is very high, generally up to v=30 ～ 50m/s; the grinding machine has good rigidity; using hydraulic transmission, so grinding can economically obtain high machining accuracy (IT6 ~ IT5) and small surface roughness (Ra = 0.8 ~ 0.2μm). Grinding is one of the main methods of finishing parts. TransGrindTools manufacture wide range kinds of diamond grinding tools which can make your grinding work easier and more effective. ​​ (3) The temperature of the grinding zone
