Most of the backing pads with a velcro fixing are designed to be used with abrasive sanding discs and felt polishing discs.
Surface conditioning discs need a stronger hook and loop fixing to ensure a good grip. For SCM discs we recommend backing pads with the Cibo AX grip fixing. SCM backing pads can be selected using the Surface Conditioning option in the ‘Fixing Type’ filter.
There are 3 variations on velcro backing pads
The unique construction of the Trizact abrasives mean that they generate heat quickly when used at high speed. The obvious simple solution is to work at a slower speed on a variable speed angle grinder but, in addition, to counter this Cibo developed the VEL/VZ backing pads. VEL/VZ backing pads use a high temperature thermoset bonding system on the backing pads to ensure excellent backing pad and disc life.
In addition Cibo recommend using the IT interface pads on the backing pad. Not only will the IT interface pads improve disc life but they will also reduce your backing pad costs.
