RUPES expanded resin foam polishing pads are specially designed for the random orbital polishing system. They produce excellent results with substantial time saving and reduced compound consumption. BigFoot’s random orbital movement creates high mechanical stresses on the foam polishing pads, generating an increase in internal temperature. The innovative “open cell” structure of the BigFoot foam polishing pads prevents the build-up of heat generated during the polishing process. In addition, this particular structure guarantees maximum efficiency in the polishing process with minimum downward vertical pressure from the operator. The center hole creates superior ventilation and heat dispersion through special channels in the backing pad. The innovative design of the tapered cone shape optimizes the performance of the large diameter orbit, and at the same time protects against accidental contact between the backing pad and the work surface.
COARSE BLUE FOAM PAD
Fast cutting performance with a class leading finishing ability. Available for dual action machines, random or gear driven, and for single action rotary. Different cell structure, resin and profiles are designated for the different tool movements and are optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication.
Blue COARSE compounds are recommended.
MEDIUM GREEN FOAM PAD
Medium cutting with clean finishing. Available for dual action random orbital machine only Optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication.
Green MEDIUM compound is strongly recommended.
FINE YELLOW FOAM PAD
Fine cut with a deep gloss finish. Available for dual action machine, random or gear driven, and for single action rotary. Different cell structure, resin and profiles are designated for the different tool movements and are optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication.
Yellow FINE compounds are recommended.
ULTRA-FINE WHITE FOAM PAD
Formulated for a show car finish. Available for dual action random orbital and for single action rotary. Different cell structure, resin and profiles are designated for the different tool movments and are optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication.
