3M Black Stripper Pad 7200 13-inch Floor Stripping Pad, Case of 5 — Aggressive Reusable

The 3M Black Stripper Pad 7200 is an aggressive, reusable 13" stripping pad engineered to remove old floor finish, sealer and heavy soil quickly and consistently.

Designed for low-speed rotary machines and automatic scrubbers, the 3M 7200 delivers dependable abrasive action across its usable life. Its coarse nylon and polyester web is saturated with resin and mineral abrasive to provide deep initial cut while resisting clogging. Because the pad is washable and built to last, it lowers supply costs over repeated stripping cycles and works with water- or solvent-based strippers on hard surfaces including vinyl, tile and concrete.

How does the 3M 7200 remove multiple layers of finish?

The pad’s coarse fibers are uniformly coated with abrasive mineral and resin, producing an aggressive bite that tears through two to three layers of old finish in one pass. Its open nonwoven construction channels stripper solution through the pad so chemicals can soften finish while the abrasive lifts and removes it.

• Coarse fiber-web with bonded abrasive for sustained cutting power
• Open texture reduces loading for continuous performance
• Compatible with low-speed machines (175–600 rpm) and automatic scrubbers
• Works with water- or solvent-based stripping solutions

Will the pad clog or lose performance during long jobs?

No—its open-textured, nonwoven design resists clogging by allowing debris and stripping solution to pass through, which preserves abrasive exposure. That stable construction helps maintain a high rate of cut from start to finish of a stripping job.

• Open web minimizes soil build-up
• Evenly distributed abrasive for consistent life-cycle performance
• Rinseable for reuse to extend service life

How long will each pad last and can it be reused?

3M engineered the 7200 to retain effective cutting action over many uses. After stripping, pads can be rinsed and dried; with proper care they deliver multiple cycles of material removal, lowering replacement frequency and overall costs.

• Washable and reusable construction reduces supply consumption
• Durable fibers maintain shape and abrasive retention
• Case quantities simplify inventory for high-use facilities

Which machines and floors are compatible with this pad?

The 13" diameter is sized for round and rectangular low-speed rotary machines as well as automatic scrubbers operating between 175 and 600 rpm. The pad is intended for hard-surface floors where finish and sealer removal or heavy soil cleaning is required.

• Fits low-speed floor machines (175–600 rpm) and automatic scrubbers
• Effective on vinyl composition tile, VCT, ceramic, and concrete
• Suitable for use with recommended stripping chemicals

Who is this for: Facility managers, janitorial teams and maintenance contractors who need a reliable, cost-effective stripping solution will find the 3M Black Stripper Pad 7200 valuable. It’s best for sites with recurring deep-strip cycles—such as schools, healthcare facilities, retail spaces and industrial floors—where aggressive, repeatable finish removal and reduced pad replacement are priorities.
