No need for floor stripping chemicals

3M's Scotch-Brite Surface Prep Pad strips and prepares a wide variety of floors without harmful chemicals, delivering improved sustainability and productivity at a total lower cost.

Suitable for use on wood, marble, terrazzo, vinyl, concrete and other protected surfaces, the pads are made from high quality synthetic fibre, coated with abrasive particles for the rapid removal of floor finishes.

The pads can be used with neutral detergent or water.

Company tests have shown that the pads can typically remove one layer of protection for every one - two passes, reducing the time needed to strip a surface. As 90 per cent of cleaning costs can be labour, their impact on performance and productivity can be dramatic. 3M says customer trials reveal that stripping with its pads versus conventional chemical stripping shows an average time saving of 3.93 man-hours per 1000 sq ft, yielding a 74 per cent reduction in labour costs.

The prep pads can be used with standard speed rotary floor machines.
