Revolutionary foamed wool pads cut like lambswool but finish like foam on rotary and gear-driven machines.
The proprietary foaming 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 Lake Country's purple foamed wool pad, the Hybrid 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. More aggressive than microfiber cutting pads, less aggressive than pre-washed and twisted wool pads. Pairs best with Menzerna Cut Force Pro or Heavy Cut 400. Clean between passes with a wool spur (better yet, compressed air) or after a few sets with the Lake Country System 4000 Pad Washer.
Cut / Finish: 7 / 8 (within the Knitted Wool line).
Pairs with: Menzerna Premium Power Cut 200, Menzerna Gelcoat Liquid Sanding, Menzerna Cut Force Pro, Menzerna Super Heavy Cut 300, Menzerna Super Heavy Cut 300 Green Line, Menzerna Heavy Cut 400, Menzerna Gelcoat Premium One-Step Polish, Menzerna Heavy Cut 1000
The LC knitted wool pads are the finest in their class, created from only the highest grade wool and blend of materials. Compiled of a number of proprietary and different blended pads, Lake Country offers wool pad products available nowhere else in the world. Our knitted wool pads combine the performance benefits of traditional lambswool with the ability to blend materials to suit specific cutting or finishing needs, all while ensuring a consistent quality from pad to pad. Knitted pads reduce the amount of shedding or linting compared to traditional wool pads.
Benefits:
- 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. Foamed fibers resist caking and matting. Foaming process also creates minute air pockets at the base fibers, which improves cushioning and retention of compounds and polishes.
- One-Step Compounding: Paired with appropriate compounds (like Menzerna HCC 400), aggressively removes P1500 grit 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.
- Durable Backing: More durable than natural backing material, which allows for more washings.
- Consistent Quality & Reduced Linting: Knitted pads lint less, making your shop or work area cleaner. Manufacturing process produces a uniform material, resulting in consistent pad performance, unlike performance reducing variances that can occur with natural sheepskin pads.
