BigFoot System foam polishing pads
FOAM POLISHING PADS
The foam pad is one of the key elements in the polishing process; many variables in the technical specs have to be taken into consideration to optimize the performance. Dealing with different paint, compounds or machine requires different foam to make the job safe and efficient.
BLUE FOAM PAD COARSE
Fast cutting performance with a top class finishing level in his category Available for dual action machine, random or gear driven, and for single action rotary. Different cell structure, resin and shape are fitting the different machine action and are optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication. Blue COARSE compounds are recommended.
GREEN FOAM PAD MEDIUM
Medium-fast cut performance with a top class finishing level in his category. Available for dual action random orbital machine only Optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication. Green MEDIUM compound are strongly recommended.
YELLOW FOAM PAD FINE
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 shape are fitting the different machine action and are optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication. Yellow FINE compounds are recommended.
WHITE FOAM PAD ULTRA FINE
Formulated for a show car finish. Available for dual action random orbital and for single action rotary. Different cell structure, resin and shape are fitting the different machine action and are optimized for the RUPES compound viscosity and lubrication. White ULTRA FINE compounds are recommended.
For Random Orbital / Triple Action Polishers
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 truncated 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.
For Gear Driven Polishers
This new foam pad range has been designed to maximize the transmission of the gear driven tools mechanical movement to the work surface. The low profile, tapered, design cut from the proprietary RUPES foams performs predictably and consistently with the movement of a dual action tool. The shortened height of the foams improves user experience by reducing the overall distance from the operator to the work surface and also improves stability and control during all phases of the polishing process. The lower profile aids in reducing pad distortion caused by the gear driven tools movement and torque output.
The new foam pad range features 3 foam types:
Blue foam pad for cutting processes
Yellow foam pad for finishing processes
White foam pad for ultra-finishing processes.
For Rotary Polisher
Completely new foam formulations specifically optimized for rotary application.The system includes 3 type of foam pads designed to give the operator choices depending on the desired outcome. Open cell foam materials were chosen to minimize excessive heat. The pad profile helps to prevent accidental contact between the backing plate and the panel. 25mm thickness for each pad version available in 125mm, 150mm, or 165mm inch pad sizes.
BLUE FOAM PAD COARSE
The high performance and aggressive blue foam removes severe defects and sanding marks on painted surfaces.
YELLOW FOAM PAD FINE
Eliminates moderate surface defects and imperfections while restoring high gloss. The new foam structure provides a smooth and comfortable polishing experience.
WHITE FOAM PAD ULTRA FINE
The completely new soft foam technology removes fine imperfections and creates a unbelievably high gloss finish. Highly recommended when using rotary on dark colors.
