FOAM PAD 150*25 MM BLACK 2 PCS.

Mirka Foam Pad 150 x 25 mm Black 2 pcs – what it is and why choose it

The Mirka Foam Pad 150 x 25 mm Black (pack of 2) is a professional-grade polishing foam pad designed for high-quality finishing on automotive and industrial painted surfaces. With a 150 mm diameter and 25 mm thickness, this black foam pad is optimised for fine polishing and finishing steps, particularly on darker colours, helping to remove light defects and enhance gloss.

Based on publicly available data, this product corresponds to Mirka’s 150 x 25 mm black foam polishing pads supplied in a 2-piece pack, typically featuring a grip (hook-and-loop) backing for use with rotary or dual-action polishers. Some technical aspects (such as exact foam formulation) are not verified and may vary by Mirka reference. For full confirmation of compatibility and performance, it is recommended to consult the official Mirka technical data sheet.

Main features

• Professional polishing foam pad designed for fine polishing and final finishing operations on painted surfaces.
• Dimensions 150 x 25 mm: 150 mm diameter and 25 mm thickness, suitable for standard 150 mm backing plates.
• Black foam ideal for finishing stages, especially suited to darker colours when used with appropriate polishing compounds (information not fully verified for this exact reference).
• Pack of 2 pads, allowing rotation between pads to maintain consistent performance.
• Foam structure optimised for control, providing a balance between softness and stability for controlled polishing (exact foam grade not fully verified).
• Grip/backing compatible with hook-and-loop plates (based on typical Mirka foam pad construction; not fully verified for this specific code).

Applications and use cases

• Automotive detailing and refinishing: Final polishing step after compounding to refine the surface, remove light holograms and increase gloss on body panels.
• Bodyshops and paint shops: Use after sanding and intermediate polishing to achieve a uniform, high-gloss finish on fresh or fully cured paint (depending on the compound used).
• Industrial finishing: Suitable for polishing painted or lacquered components in furniture, marine and industrial applications, where a controlled, fine finish is required.
• Maintenance polishing: Light correction and gloss enhancement on previously polished or maintained surfaces.
• Use with polishing compounds: Can be used with compatible polishing, finishing or anti-hologram compounds recommended by Mirka or the compound manufacturer (product-specific recommendations not verified).

FAQ – Mirka Foam Pad 150 x 25 mm Black 2 pcs

1. What type of machine can I use with this foam pad?

   It is intended for use with polishers equipped with a 150 mm backing plate, such as rotary or dual-action (random orbital) polishers, that use hook-and-loop attachment. Always verify machine compatibility with the official Mirka documentation.

2. Is this pad for cutting or for finishing?

   The black foam pad is generally associated with fine polishing or finishing steps, helping to remove light defects and refine gloss rather than heavy defect removal. The exact cut level for this specific product is not fully verified.

3. Can I use it on fresh paint?

   Many Mirka foam pads can be used on both fresh and fully cured paints when combined with suitable compounds, but curing times and product suitability depend on the paint system. Always follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations and consult Mirka’s official technical data for this pad.

4. How should I clean the foam pad after use?

   Typically, foam pads can be cleaned by brushing out residue while still slightly damp or by washing with a mild detergent and warm water, then allowing them to dry completely. Use only cleaning methods authorised by Mirka in its official guidance.

5. Can this pad be used with any brand of polishing compound?

   In principle, it can be used with most polishing compounds suitable for foam pads. However, the best results are usually obtained when using compounds recommended by Mirka for this type of pad. Check compound and pad compatibility in the manufacturer’s technical data.

6. What surfaces can I polish with this pad?

   It is mainly designed for painted or lacquered surfaces, such as automotive bodywork and industrial coatings. Use on other materials only if explicitly allowed in the product’s official documentation.

7. How many pads are included in the pack?

   The pack contains 2 black foam pads of 150 x 25 mm.

8. How long does a pad last?

   Durability depends on factors such as machine type, pressure, speed, compound abrasiveness and cleaning method. There is no verified lifetime figure for this product; always inspect the pad regularly and replace it if damaged or excessively worn.

9. Does the pad have any specific direction of use?

   Foam pads are generally symmetrical and can be mounted in any orientation on the backing plate, ensuring it is centred and firmly attached to avoid imbalance.

10. Where can I find the official technical data?

    For fully verified information on performance, compatibility, recommended compounds and safety, refer to the official Mirka technical data sheet and product documentation for this specific foam pad.

Section 14 – Transport information

This product is a solid foam polishing pad and, in normal conditions of use and transport, is not typically classified as dangerous for transport. However, detailed and legally binding transport classification (including UN number, hazard class, packing group and any special provisions) is not available in the consulted public information and therefore is not verified.

For precise transport data and regulatory status according to ADR/RID, IMDG, IATA or other applicable regulations, always consult the official safety documentation and transport information provided by Mirka for this specific product.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures

The foam pad itself does not normally present particular hazards when handled correctly, but the polishing process can generate dust, aerosols and noise, and involves rotating machinery. The following general individual protection measures are recommended as good practice; they are not product-specific and are not fully verified for this exact Mirka reference:

• Eye protection: Use safety glasses or a face shield when polishing to protect against splashes from compounds and particles projected by the rotating pad.
• Respiratory protection: When dust, mist or vapours may be generated (for example, from polishing compounds or paint residues), use suitable respiratory protection according to local regulations and the safety data sheets of the products used.
• Hand protection: Wear appropriate work gloves when handling the machine, backing plate and pads to reduce the risk of cuts, abrasions and irritation from chemical residues.
• Hearing protection: In noisy environments or with high-speed polishers, wear hearing protection complying with applicable standards.
• Skin protection: Avoid prolonged skin contact with polishing compounds and residues. Wear suitable work clothing and clean exposed skin after work.
• General safety: Always follow the safety instructions of the polishing machine and the compounds used, including recommendations in their safety data sheets and operating manuals.
