Powr-Flite 17in Black Stripping Floor Pad (5/Case) BK0517

The Powr-Flite 17in Black Stripping Floor Pad (part# BK0517) is an aggressive wet-stripping pad made to remove old floor finish, sealer, and heavy build-up down to a clean surface. Paired with a stripping solution on a 175 RPM machine, the black pad is the standard choice for wet-stripping VCT, terrazzo, and other hard floors before recoating.

Compatible Models for the 17in Black Stripping Floor Pad (5/Case) BK0517

• Powr-Flite Millennium Floor Machine 17″ 1.5 HP — NM171HD
• Fits any 17-inch low-speed rotary floor machine that uses a pad driver, including the Powr-Flite NM171HD and C171HD and comparable 17″ machines from Tornado and other brands.

Flood the floor with stripper, let it dwell, then run the BK0517 wet to break up and lift the softened finish. It is far more aggressive than scrubbing pads and should only be used for stripping, not routine cleaning, or it will dull the floor. For especially thick or stubborn coatings, step up to the HD Black (BH0517) or Dominator (DM0517) pad. Replace the pad when it loads with dissolved finish or wears thin.
