Scotch-Brite Black Stripping Disc for wet stripping

Scotch-Brite black stripping disc: what it is used for and when to use it

The black stripping disc is used when the goal is not to maintain, but to restore. For example, it is the right choice for removing old finishes, eliminating deeply ingrained dirt and preparing the floor before a new treatment. In addition, its fibre blend increases friction, helping to quickly remove coatings, black marks and stains.

Furthermore, the mineral abrasives are distributed throughout the disc, not just on the surface. This means that performance remains more stable throughout its service life. As a result, you achieve consistent results in long jobs and demanding stripping tasks.

Where to use the black stripping disc

This black stripping disc is designed for wet stripping and intensive scrubbing. It is therefore particularly suitable for floors with aged finishes, areas with stubborn black marks and areas with a high level of contamination. It can also be used for intensive cleaning of industrial floors and concrete floors when aggressive action is required.

• Wet stripping of old finishes and very dirty floors.
• Removal of coatings, black marks and stubborn stains.
• Intensive cleaning of concrete and industrial floors.

How to use the black stripping disc without mistakes

First, confirm the size compatible with your machine and the type of disc holder. Then, work wet with the appropriate stripping solution, as this improves drag and reduces dirt redeposition. In addition, it is advisable to divide the area into sections to control the result. Finally, remove the residue and leave the floor ready for the next step in the protocol.

• Choose the correct size (according to your machine) to avoid vibrations and uneven wear.
• Use the wet system and follow the centre's stripping procedure.
• Test on an inconspicuous area if the floor is delicate or unknown.

Colour differences (quick guide)

The colour helps to identify the level of aggressiveness. However, it may vary by manufacturer, so use it as a practical guide. In general, the black stripping disc is the most aggressive for deep stripping. On the other hand, brown is usually medium stripping, blue is for intensive scrubbing, red is used for cleaning and maintenance, while white is reserved for buffing or gentle polishing.
