Innovatech I-Shine
Polishing Pads
The new I-Shine Polishing Pads from Innovatech boast a new resin diamond matrix that is so good at cutting and polishing concrete, the user in many cases does not have to use metal bond diamonds.
The pads’ special matrix is designed to not glaze over on hard concrete like many diamonds do. These new diamonds are on a high-strength buffing-type pad, and the diamonds are attached with a specially designed glue that keeps them on at high temperatures and fast speeds. I-Shine pads also allow the user to polish concrete three times faster than the traditional phenolic-resin method, and these pads do not leave the plastic resin burn marks on lippage that normal phenolic resins do. These diamond pads polish up, down, and over the lippage, leaving an even shine in low spots.
The pads are available in 30-grit to 3,000-grit for wet and dry polishing. They come in all sizes to fit a range of different polishing machines on the market, but last up to 18,000 square feet per set when used with Innovatech’s Predator polishers. I-Shine pads stick to the Velcro on the bottom of the grinding plates. In seconds, the user can switch out all four heads on the bottom of a planetary grinder to the next grit diamond.
