3M 7000045868 Floor Stripping Pad 18 in Black 5 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7000045868 is a high-productivity floor stripping pad designed for heavy-duty removal of finish, wax, and buildup from hard floor surfaces. Constructed from coarse-grit nylon, it is built to cut aggressively through multiple layers of floor finish under wet stripping conditions. Each pad measures 18 inches in diameter and is sized for standard 18-inch floor machine heads. This product ships in a case of 5 pads, making it a practical choice for facility maintenance professionals, janitorial contractors, and floor care technicians who need consistent, high-volume stripping performance.

This pad is suited for use on vinyl composition tile, terrazzo, concrete, and other hard floor surfaces in commercial and institutional settings. It performs best when used with an appropriate stripping chemical and a low-speed rotary floor machine. Facility service professionals typically deploy these pads ahead of re-coating or refinishing work to ensure a clean, residue-free substrate before applying new floor finish.
