White nylon pads are the best pad for holding mesh screens for screen & recoats, light sanding or polishing a
resilient floor. They are also best for holding sandpaper when using the SL-1218R.
Green nylon pads are most useful in scrubbing a resilient floor and in applications that need a stiffer pad.
Black nylon pads are most useful in stripping a resilient floor, and are the coarsest pad available.
There are other colors of pad available for polishers. The white, green and black pads are the standard for
the rental industry and will fill all of your needs.
Applications for the SL-1218R:
With the use of sandpaper, sanding screens or nylon pads, the SL-1218R can be used on a
variety of surfaces. It is ideal for wood flooring, wood decks, and other hard flooring
surfaces.
