3M 20" Brown Stripper Pad

The 3M 08448 is a 20-inch brown cleaning pad built for stripping floor finish before refinishing. It is intended for facility-maintenance crews and cleaning professionals who use rotary or automatic floor machines. The conformable fiber construction works on uneven surfaces and cuts through old sealer and contaminants in two to four coats. Each carton contains five pads ready for wet or dry stripping jobs.

Machine-speed thermals and power draw

The pads operate with machines running at 175 to 600 RPM and generate no heat or noise of their own. Power consumption depends entirely on the floor machine used. Uniform mineral abrasive distribution throughout the fiber keeps cutting performance consistent without extra motor load. The heavy-duty design maintains useful life across multiple stripping passes.

Carton of five ready-to-use pads

The five-pad carton supplies a full crew for a standard stripping job without repacking. Pads are individually separated and coated so fibers stay aligned and deliver repeatable results from the first pad to the last. No assembly is required and the fiber material contains no recycled content. The pads mount directly to compatible 20-inch drivers for immediate wet or dry stripping.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 20-inch pad to my floor machine and what step is often missed?

Centre the pad on the drive plate or pad driver, then lock the machine's retaining clips; the step often missed is verifying the pad sits flat across the full 20-inch surface before starting.

When will the brown stripper pad need replacing during a stripping job?

Replace the pad when the mineral abrasives no longer cut through finish and sealer at the same rate, which occurs after the uniform abrasive layer has worn down through the fibre thickness.

What is the maximum machine speed I can run the 08448 pad at without damaging it?

Do not exceed 600 RPM; the pad is rated for rotary or automatic machines operating between 175 and 600 RPM.
