Product Description

Product Description

Specially designed for spray buffing. Cleans when damp; buffs when dry. Quickly cleans and removes scuff marks and enhances floor appearance. Works great on automatic floor scrubbers for light duty cleaning.

From the Manufacturer

3M™ Red Buffer Pads 5100 can be used for everyday cleaning, remove light soil, scuff marks, and black heel marks. Fibers throughout the pad are uniformly coated with a high-quality resin and fine cleaning particles, providing good performance throughout the pad’s long life. Open-web construction means this washable, reusable pad resists clogging and loading. Conformable fibers provide maximum pad-to-floor contact. The 3M™ Red Buffer Pad 5100 is available for round and rectangular rotary swing machines and automatic floor machines running at low speed (175-600 rpm).

Regular use of the 3M™ Red Buffer Pad 5100 reduces the frequency of scrub-and-recoat operations, enhancing the appearance of your finished floors with reduced labor and materials costs.

Floor cleaning pads are used to remove soil, scuffs and black heel marks and enhance floor appearance. The 3M™ Red Buffer Pad 5100 is used specifically for everyday cleaning under a rotary floor machine (175-600 rpm). It is also used for light scrubbing under an automatic scrubber. This product is made of polyester fibers and synthetic adhesives and will not be significantly affected by water, detergents and cleaners normally used for floor maintenance. The product is reversible and approximately 1 inch thick.

For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals. Today the company, from its headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, serves industrial and commercial customers and consumers in nearly 200 countries. Building and Commercial Services products—a diverse category including environmental monitors, floor mats, fire barriers, and cleaning solutions—help customers maintain clean, safe, and attractive facilities. The 3M brand, across thousands of products, represents consistency, superior quality, and value.
