How to Polish Granite with Diamond Pads

 Surie Polex is India’s largest manufacturer of granite polishing pads. Granite is normally very difficult to polish because it is a very hard stone. However, by using diamond powder as the abrasive grain Surie Polex has now made it possible to polish granite very easily. There are two main types of granite polishing pads used around the world:

The first type of granite polishing pad is called DCRPD. Surie Polex is the inventor of this type of granite polishing pad. This pad has a plastic backer and it fits directly onto hand held angle grinder machines. It is typically used dry in the 8000-10000rpm range. It comes in the grit numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. This granite polishing pad is mainly used to polish edges. DCRPD is also referred to as a granite edge polishing pad or a Diamond GC Wheel.

The second type of granite polishing pad is called DCRF. This is also known as a flexible diamond pad. This pad has a hook and loop backer and it fits floor polishing machines, hand polishing machines and slab polishing machines. It is typically used wet although it can be used dry as well. It comes in the standard grit numbers 60, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 and 3000. Non-standard grit numbers (300, 600, 1200, 5000, 12000 etc. etc.) are also available against order.
