Tan Standard Floor Pad
The Tan Standard Floor Pad is used for polishing and light maintenance within the standard floor-pad range. It is a dry-use option for suitable floors that have already been cleaned and are ready for the next care stage.
Use the tan pad where the flooring and finish instructions specify this polishing grade. Clear grit and loose dirt first so that polishing does not carry abrasive debris across the surface.
Choose the diameter specified for your machine and drive board. This standard-pad range is rated for machines operating up to 600rpm; the machine and floor instructions may require a lower speed. Check the floor finish and test a small area before wider use.
Remove the pad from the machine, rinse away soil with clean water and hang it to dry. Both sides may be used while they remain clean and serviceable. Replace a pad that is worn, damaged or unable to maintain even contact.

FAQs
What is the tan pad used for?
Use the tan grade dry for polishing and light maintenance of suitable finished floors. It helps maintain the appearance of an approved finish; choose a different grade when the task calls for aggressive scrubbing or coating removal.
Which size should I order?
Match the diameter to the approved pad size for the machine and drive board. Astral lists sizes from 6 to 24 inches, so check your selected option before ordering rather than using the machine’s brush diameter as a guide.
What machine speed is suitable?
Robert Scott rates this standard pad range for machines up to 600rpm. Use the working speed specified by the machine, coating and maintenance-process instructions, within this limit.
Is it suitable for every floor finish?
Confirm the approved polishing grade in the flooring and finish instructions. Remove grit and test a discreet area before polishing the full floor.
Can both sides be used?
Robert Scott specifies that the pad can be used on both sides. Inspect each side before use and keep it clean and serviceable; turn it over only when the second side is suitable for the task.
How should I clean the pad?
Rinse with clean water and brush away soil using the centre push-out piece in line with Robert Scott’s instructions. Hang to dry, then inspect for wear or damage before the next maintenance round.
For regular spray buffing, compare the red floor pad. For a finishing grade, see the white polishing pad.
