Looking for a cost-effective way to produce beautiful-looking floors?
Since not all floor pads are the same, you’ll need to consider …
Product Performance
• 3M floor pads are manufactured to provide consistent performance and assure high-quality, reproducible results
• Combination of highly conformable fibers produce maximum contact with floor, helping improve performance
Consistent 3M product uniformity and quality produces:
- less machine wobble and vibration
- less operator fatigue
- prolonged useful life of the pad
- better results on your floors
|
Product Selection
• Each floor pad in 3M’s full line is engineered specifically for a particular maintenance task
• 3M pads are designed with the right amount of aggressiveness for every type of stripping, scrubbing and cleaning job
• 3M burnishing pads are designed to give optimum performance on all floor finishes
Value
• Why compromise quality? Floor pads are essential to the success of beautiful-looking floors, yet only account for about 1% of your overall hard floor maintenance program costs
• Uniform coating throughout every 3M pad produces a long, useful life, resulting in less pad usage
• Strong, durable 3M pads are washable and reusable, helping reduce pad usage

system of floor care products
3M is the only manufacturer that develops floor pads and floor finishes. And with a diverse selection of floor care products, you can count on 3M to help you produce

All floor pads are not created equally
The differences between floor pads may seem small. But when added up, they can make a big difference to your bottom line in terms of productivity and labor costs. Consider the following attributes of 3M floor pads that help set them apart from the competition:
Uniform distribution of mineral abrasives throughout pad (not just on the surface) assures superior performance and a long, useful life.
Individually separated and coated fibers help produce better,
more consistent results.
3M™ Floor Pads
Fibers are uniformly coated with resin and mineral, producing more consistent, high-quality results. Combination of highly conformable fibers provide maximum pad-to-floor contact.
Other Floor Pads
Fibers are randomly coated with resin and mineral, which can produce inconsistent results. Larger fibers are less conformable, providing fewer contact points with the floor.
