3M Low-Speed Stripper Floor Pad 7200 — 19" Black, Heavy-Duty Washable Abrasive Pad for VCT & Concrete (Case of 5)

The 3M Black Stripper Pad 7200 is a heavy-duty, washable floor stripping pad designed to remove multiple layers of old finish and sealer from hard surfaces using low-speed rotary machines.

Built for commercial and industrial floor maintenance, the 3M 7200 delivers aggressive abrasion without excessive damage to the substrate. Its open, non-woven nylon and polyester web is impregnated with abrasive mineral particles and resin, producing consistent cutting action across the pad’s lifespan. Sized for 19" rotary machines and compatible automatic scrubbers, the pad is washable and reusable—helping reduce supply costs while preparing floors for refinishing.

How does the 3M 7200 remove old finish efficiently?

The pad’s coarse fibers combined with embedded abrasive mineral particles provide strong initial cut and sustain performance as the pad wears. Its open-textured construction resists clogging, allowing stripping solutions to flow through and carry away dissolved finish. That balance of aggressive abrasion and open structure makes it possible to remove two to three layers of old finish in many applications.

• Coarse nylon/polyester fiber web with abrasive mineral throughout
• Open, non-woven texture prevents rapid loading
• Designed for low-speed (175–600 RPM) rotary floor machines
• Aggressive initial cut and long-lasting abrasive action

What surfaces and chemicals can I use this pad with?

The 7200 is intended for hard surfaces like VCT, sealed concrete, terrazzo and similar floors when paired with appropriate stripping solutions. It works with both water-based and solvent-based strippers as specified by the chemical manufacturer. For extremely soiled concrete, the pad can be combined with recommended cleaning chemicals for effective removal.

• Suitable for sealed concrete, VCT, terrazzo and other hard floors
• Compatible with water-based and solvent-based stripping solutions
• Effective on heavily soiled floors when used with proper chemicals
• Leaves a smooth surface ready for recoating or refinishing

How long will a pad last and how do I maintain it?

Durable resin bonding and evenly-distributed abrasives provide consistent performance over many uses; the pad is washable to extend life and reduce replacement frequency. Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove dissolved finish and debris, and store flat in a dry area. Proper care prolongs cut life and keeps stripping results predictable from job to job.

• Washable and reusable to lower ongoing supply costs
• Rinse after use to remove trapped finish and residues
• Store flat, dry, away from direct sunlight or solvents
• Inspect for wear; replace when fibers no longer cut effectively

What equipment do I need and what pad size fits?

The 3M 7200 is sized for 19" diameter rotary floor machines and fits many automatic scrubbers and low-speed buffers. Use machines rated 175–600 RPM for optimal stripping action. Ensure the pad driver and machine are compatible with the pad diameter for safe, effective operation.

• 19" diameter pad for round rotary machines and scrubbers
• Recommended operating speed: 175–600 RPM
• Use a compatible pad driver for secure mounting
• Case includes five pads for multiple jobs or large areas

Who is this for: Maintenance teams, commercial janitorial services, facilities managers, and contractors who need a reliable, heavy-duty stripping pad for preparing floors prior to recoating. If you require a reusable, high-cut pad for low-speed rotary machines that handles thick, soiled finishes and helps reduce supply turnover, the 3M 7200 is built for that purpose.
