How to Choose a Concrete Wiper Diamond? One of the most important elements of obtaining a quality result in concrete wiping operations is to choose the right diamond. The quality of the diamond segment used, the hardness of the concrete, the strength of the machine and the type of treatment to be performed directly affect both the labor time and the surface quality to be obtained. Why is the Hardness of Concrete Important? Not all concrete has the same structure. Diamonds with different bond structure should be used for low, medium and high hardness concrete. Diamonds with soft bond structure are preferred in hard concrete. Thus, diamond provides high performance by constantly renewing itself. In soft concrete* , diamonds with a hard bond structure offer longer life. For medium-hard concrete *, diamonds with a balanced bond structure work best. Incorrect diamond selection can result in rapid wear of segments or reduced cutting performance. Diamond Selection According to the Process to be Performed The type of diamond to be used varies according to the application to be carried out on concrete floors. Removal of old coating, paint or epoxy Surface levelling Concrete finishing Coarse grinding before polishing Fine finishing and polishing Diamonds with different granule (grit) values should be used for each stage. Coarse grits remove material quickly, while fine grits create a smoother and brighter surface. Use of Diamonds Suitable for the Machine In the selection of diamonds, not only the type of concrete, but also the brand, model and connection system of the concrete cleaning machine used should be taken into account. Diamonds that are not fully compatible with the machine can cause both loss of performance and shortened equipment life. Advantages of Quality Diamond A properly selected quality concrete wiping diamond;
- Provides faster operation.
- Creates less vibration.
- Prevents strain on the machine.
- Offers longer service life.
- Reduces labor costs.
- Ensures homogeneous and professional surface quality.
