Lake Country Knitted Blue Hybrid Foamed Wool Pad 5.25”
Lake Country Knitted Blue Hybrid Foamed Wool Pad 5.25” (5.25" diameter x 1" thickness) is a foamed wool pad for polishing and cutting. This pad is a combination of foamed and knitted wool technology. The knitted wool combine the performance benefits of traditional lambs wool with the ability to blend materials to suit specific cutting or finishing needs. Knitted pads reduce the amount of shedding or linting compared to traditional wool pads. Similar to natural sheepskin pads, these have an increased cutting ability, but unlike natural sheepskin the performance will be consistent from pad to pad. These pads also lint much less than a traditional tufted wool pad.
The foamed wool process helps hold the fibers together, creating a cushioned feel, holding abrasives to the surface, and adding an increased gloss and finishing ability. The patented nanofoam process encapsulates fibers at the base of the lambswool with microscopic polyfoam particles. Easily remove and level P1500 grit scratches, but still leave the finish of a foam pad, reducing holograms or compounding swirls.
With the same great technology of the knitted purple foamed wool pad, the Blue Hybrid Foamed Wool has a higher foam content for increased firmness and an even better finish. Offered in a 1” pile, this pad was originally designed as a cutting pad for gear driven and forced rotation polishers. The foamed wool fibers resist or reduce caking and matting down.

Fits 5” Backing Plate.
Recommended tools: Rotatory and Force Rotation.
Feature and Benefits:
Dense Body: Foamed fibers resist caking and matting. Foaming process also creates minute air pockets at the base of the fibers, which improves cushioning and retention of compounds and polishes.
Consistent Quality: Manufacturing process produces a uniform material, resulting in consistent pad performance ... unlike performance reducing variances that can occur with natural sheepskin pads.
Minimal Linting: Foaming process locks in the lambswool fibers, significantly reducing linting.
Durable Backing: More durable than natural backing material, allowing more washings.
Premium Blends: Signature wool blends for fast, effective cutting with great finishing qualities.
Reduced Linting: Knitted pads lint less making your shop or work area cleaner.
One-Step Compounding: aggressively removes P1500 scratches and finishes to high gloss in one step. Cuts like natural sheepskin but finishes like a foam pad, leaving a lustrous finish with no haze.
Nano Foamed Wool Technology: interlocking the wool fibers, a polyurethane foam is blended and embedded in the base of the knitted wool, creating more surface area and a reduction in pile flattening.
