QDPD

QDPD pad is a synthetic polyester pad mainly used in initial and intermediate polishing steps of different types of materials. It is tested on materials high on the hardness scale, such as silicon carbide (SiC) and sapphire. It has a similar polishing characteristic as a nylon pad.

Available Sizes (Ø): 8”, 9”, 10”, 12”,14”,16”

Advantages & Features:

♦ Patterned for even distribution and flow of slurry.

♦ Minimum surface artifacts such as scratches and digs.

♦ Edge-to-edge dimensional retention.

♦ Very high stock removal.

♦ Very durable for extended use due to strong fibrous materials.

♦ Ease of use.

♦ Very affordable.

QDTXD

QDTXD is the most common polishing pad used for the intermediate steps in polishing both soft and hard materials, form zinc selenide to SiC. This polishing pad reduces steps in the polishing process with the correct combination of diamond slurry and other parameters such as load, rpm, and time duration.

Available Sizes (Ø): 8”, 9”, 10”, 12”,14”,16”

Advantages & Features:

♦ Non-woven nap; stiffer fibers for dimensional stability.

♦ Minimum surface artifacts such as scratches and digs.

♦ High stock removal rate.

♦ Edge-to-edge dimensional retention.

♦ Very durable.

♦ Ease of use.

♦ Very affordable.

QDMD

QDMD pad is a finish polishing pad for different materials. QDMD is highly napped. It is very soft and provides exceptional surface finish when used together with the appropriate diamond slurry.

Available Sizes (Ø): 8”, 9”, 10”, 12”,14”,16”

Advantages & Features:

♦ Soft napped surface.

♦ Minimum surface artifacts such as scratches and digs.

♦ Retains dimension with even distribution of fibers.

♦ Excellent retention of slurry.

♦ Durable.

♦ Ease of use.

♦ Affordable..

QDBCMD

Qual Diamond QDBCMD pad is a porometric polymer pad that has a consistency like a porous rubber type of pad. It is stiff but soft on the surface. QDBCMD pad has a low nap and can be used in intermediate and final polishing with a performance between napped and highly napped pads. It gives excellent edge retention in both hard materials such as Sapphire, and soft materials such as Zinc Selenide.

Available Sizes (Ø): 8”, 9”, 10”, 12”,14”,16”

Advantages & Features:

♦ High durability and versatility.

♦ Excellent strength and stiffness.

♦ Excellent surface finishing results.

♦ Edge-to-edge dimensional retention.

♦ Ease of use.

♦ Very affordable..
