APS Pro Alpha Dual Layer polishing machine pads, in combination with the APS Katana Pads, mark the latest development from APS in the field of polishing sponges and the consequent further development of the conically shaped polishing pads with the central perforation. The APS Pro Alpha polishing machine pads are made of high-quality "Made in Germany" foam types and thus enable perfect polishing results with a long service life .APS Pro Alpha polishing pads are so-called dual layer pads and are made up of two different layers of foam. The first foam layer, the so-called Pressure Propagation Layer, is located directly behind the stable Velcro layer mount. The Pressure Propagation Layer consists of a thin layer of foam with little flexibility and fulfills two important tasks. The large foam cells and reduced compression capacity ensure optimal heat dissipation from the backing pad. At the same time, the pressure propagation layer prevents the backing pad from coming into direct contact with the soft lower foam layer (polishing layer). This eliminates potential paintwork damagereliably prevented by the contact of the backing pad with the paint as a result of the incorrect positioning of the machine . . The foam layer underneath the pressure propagation layer (polishing layer) has a reduced overall height, which, similar to the popular APS Slim Pads, brings reduced shearing of the foam in eccentric operation. This enables a higher polishing performance, especially with small-stroke eccentric polishing machines and forced rotary polishers. With large-stroke eccentrics, the low shearing of the polishing layer reduces the turbulence of the polishing grain and thus always enables a flawless paint finish .APS Pro Alpha Dual Layer polishing machine pads have a conical foam cut and prevent the polishing pad from being damaged by the backing pad due to excessive pressure or an inclined position. At the same time , the side sloping downwards enables easier access to problem areas and depressions as well as complete visual control in the edge area .Another highlight of the APS Pro Alpha Dual Layer polishing pads is the central perforation . This ensures efficient cooling of the backing pad by reliably dissipating the heat. In addition, the pads can be centered much more conveniently on the backing plate.The medium cut version of the orange APS Pro Alpha Pad is ideal for use with mild grinding pastes, as well as all anti-hologram and finish polishes for the efficient correction of haze, holograms and fine swirls.
