Viper Flexible Hook & Loop Back-Up Pads

Improve polishing control, reduce chatter, and achieve smoother, more consistent finishes.

Looking for a Back-Up Pad That Helps Produce a Better Polish?

Viper Flexible Hook & Loop Back-Up Pads are engineered to improve polishing performance by reducing vibration, chatter, and unwanted bounce during the polishing process. Constructed from a medium-density flexible rubber, these professional back-up pads help maintain even pressure across the polishing surface, producing smoother finishes with fewer ripples.

The flexible design absorbs movement between the polishing tool and the work surface, giving fabricators greater control when polishing flat surfaces, edges, and profiles. Compatible with both wet and dry polishing pads, these versatile back-up pads are an excellent choice for natural stone, engineered stone, and concrete fabrication.

For maximum polishing performance, Viper recommends replacing your back-up pad after approximately every five sets of polishing pads.

Why Use a Flexible Back-Up Pad?

A back-up pad is the foundation of every polishing system. A worn or overly rigid pad can create chatter, vibration, and uneven pressure, leading to ripples or inconsistent polishing results. Viper Flexible Back-Up Pads absorb these movements, allowing polishing pads to maintain better surface contact and produce a smoother finish.

Replacing back-up pads regularly also helps maximize the performance of new polishing pads while extending their useful life. For best results, Viper recommends replacing the back-up pad after every five complete sets of polishing pads.

Whether you're polishing granite countertops, engineered stone, or decorative concrete, Viper Flexible Hook & Loop Back-Up Pads provide the stability and control professional fabricators rely on every day.
