There’s a lot of chemistry and physics that go into the design of a quality foam pad. 3D’s quality foam buffing pads use the latest in foam chemistry to create pads that simply outperform the competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoam Chemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent chemicals can be added to a foam formula to make foam react differently under time, heat, pressure and exposure to liquids or chemicals. Simple, non-descript foam pads cost less and that’s because they do less.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharp Foam Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRun your hand over the face of a clean, dry \u003cstrong\u003e3D 5.5” dark purple spider-cut foam cutting pad\u003c\/strong\u003e and you can feel the sharpness of the foam. This pad has a sharp, coarse foam structure, which is what you want when you need to remove defects quickly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe slotted spider-cuts across the face of our foam cutting pad flex when spinning against the surface, this increases their surface area, which increases their cutting ability for faster defect removal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Trapping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spider-cut structure flexes to open up when buffing allowing the compound powders or abrasives to migrate in-between the spider-cuts trapping them for extended work time and more efficient paint correction. As you’re buffing, the abrasives have greater contact against the surface for more efficient defect removal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLonger Lasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe open-cell design also offers great tensile strength as compared to closed-cell foam pads and this means they are more tear-resistant and thus last longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooler Buffing Temperatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe slotted spider-cuts across the face of the pad flex as you buff allowing better air movement over and through the pad for improved heat transfer from the pad to the air. This helps keep surface temperatures lower and helps to prevent the face of the pad from bowling-in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3D’s aggressive 5\u003cstrong\u003e.5” dark purple spider-cut foam cutting pads\u003c\/strong\u003e cut fast and because the pad material is foam and not fibers, they leave a nicer finish.
