Advantages
Advantages of Flexible, Urethane Backing Plates:
- The VELCRO® brand fastening material is molded into the plate eliminating delamination.
- The flexible edge reduces spontaneous heat build-up when transitioning from flat to contoured surfaces.
- These plates are recommended for compounding, polishing and finishing "soft" German clear coats.
- Vastly reduced heat transfer keeps motor heat from being transferred to the paint surface.
- Flexible backing plate for circular polishers
- Plated steel threaded insert will not cross-thread.
- Reinforced inner construction uses steel struts molded into the center hub for superior strength.
- Beveled outer edge allows easy pad removal and replacement.
- Always use the recommended size backing plate for the sized pad you are using. Never use a backing plate that is larger than the foam pad or disc.
