FL-07 Grit Sequence

The FL-07 system carries your floor through the full polishing progression. Run the pads in sequence, coarse to fine:

When Are FL-07 Pads Used?

FL-07 pads are used after grinding, when you’re producing a polished concrete floor (not a CSP profile for coatings). A typical polished concrete process:

1. Metal-bond diamond grinding
2. Densifier application (if required)
3. FL-07 resin polishing sequence (3C through 8)
4. LUX or SBX finish pad for maximum shine

The FL-07 pads are specially formulated for concrete that has already been ground with metal-bond diamonds — that combination is what produces the absolute best finish.
