In this day and age with technology, new changes in diamond and resin bond tooling attachments All Preparation Equipment works closely with key contractors, manufactures and suppliers to ensure cutting edge diamonds to bring the very best results with the Crete Colours chemical system. Grouts, Densifiers and Sealers play a large part of concrete floor polishing, but without the right, high quality resin bond polishing pad or puck - there's no way of guaranteeing a stunning result, every time.
Dive right in to read more about resin bond polishing pads and attachments for your machine.
RESIN BOND DIAMONDS
Typically Resin bond diamond tooling is used following the initial grind with your Metal Bond diamonds.
- Made with a mix of metal and resin
- The higher the grit the higher the shine it will provide
- As you progress, step by step a shine will begin and continue to give you a flatter floor
- Used mostly for medium to fine grinding applications. They typically range from a 50 to a 3000 Grit finish.
As your machine works the Resin works to rub into all the pores of the concrete to help create the mirror / glass finish across your floor. By following the resins step by step you will achieve the perfect mirror finish - that every polisher strives to achieve.
Resin diamond development is ever evolving, traditionally resins just comprised of resin
and diamond. These days there's several different types which include:
- Gloss
- Hybrid
- Hybrid Pro
- Ceramic
- Wool Backed
- Triangle Resins
HIGH GLOSS RESIN BOND DIAMONDS

Use Wet or Dry
- Help to eliminate scratching in between metal and resin
bond steps
- Help to prolong the life of your other resin bond
diamonds
- Higher performance, with a long life
- Quick for scratch removal
- For all concrete, terrazzo, and natural stones
- Fewer steps to achieve the same gloss shining as 7- step
pads with less time.
- Built to prepare concrete for polishing
- Very aggressive, excellent scratch pattern

CERAMIC RESINS
Work well on hard, medium and soft concrete. Great for using to get a superior shine in fewer steps. Developed to be used as a transition from the metal bond diamond grinding to the resin bond stages. Can only be used on the stand up grinding machines
WOOL FELT
Ideal system for polishing terrazzo and soft marble floors for use on a stand up grinder. Natural wool backing which offers excellent polishing and scrubbing performance. High concentration of diamonds in the pad meaning outstanding results and long life. Spiral movement of resin guaranteeing clean contact between the diamonds and the floor.
Available in 220, 400, 800, 1800, 3500 and 8500.
TRIANGLE RESINS
Ensures your corners finish up as well as your main floor area. Gets you right into the edges. Doesn't leave burn marks on the stone. Available in a set from 50 120 200 400 in Electroplated Diamond pads.
800 1500 3300 in Resin Bond.
RESIN PAD HOLDERS
Most resin pad holders should look like one of these with a metal backing or cushion back. Because of the extra flexibility in the cushion backed resin holders they tend to give a better end result than the metal backed holders. They also will work a lot better on a floor that is not perfectly flat.
