The Microtex 729 polishing pad is intended for bulk-removal or pre-polishing with diamond compounds, cerium- or aluminum oxide or other abrasives on hard surfaces.
The polishing pad is manufactured from hydro-entangled fibers bound in a resin with extreme uniformity. The structure is hard and non-woven.

HS
Our HS adhesive has a special polymer-based adhesive at on the laminating side and an acrylic adhesive on mounting side with a polyester-liner.
The HS provides excellent adhesion to the polishing cloth and excellent dimensional stability. A very strong adhesion to the plate during application, but still easy to remove at the end of the polishing process. A thicker carrier ensures easier mounting of thin cloths.
NGL Polishing Technologies have developed HS as a unique adhesive designed to be used with most known slurries in the polishing process. It is resistant towards water, water-glycol mixtures, alcohol, alcohol-glycol mixtures, oil (petroleum distillates), oil in water emulsions, bleach, etc.
EB
Our EB adhesive comes with a rubber-based high tack and peel adhesive at the laminating side, removable acrylic adhesive on mounting side and a siliconized paper-liner. The benefits of the EB adhesive are perfect adhesion with the polishing cloth and very good adhesion to the plate during application.
EB is a strong adhesive designed for mounting on all polishing cloths requiring an excellent lamination. Furthermore, it is resistant to alcohol and water-based slurries.
OviO
The flexible foil and magnetic plate of the OviO, eases the removal and alignment of the pad which reduces down-time significantly. The OviO backing makes it possible to re-use your polishing pad until it is worn out, and is without the sharp edges usually found on hard metal-backings. Thus, the OviO magnetic backing increases safety and reduces finger cutting, when mounting the polishing pad.
OviO is intended for use as backing for all of our polishing pads.
