ALPHA TWISTOUCH TURBO
New Alpha Twistouch Turbo works as part
of the Alpha Twistouch System that
replaces Alpha Turbo. The Alpha “Original” Turbo
discs were a result of many years of research
for a series of diamond grits specifically
designed to polish flat granite areas. Before
Turbo discs existed, hand polishing of flat granite
was done with Ceramica – a flexible diamond
disc. Although performance was acceptable,
most often a wavy finish was obtained due to
the flexibility of the Ceramica discs. Alpha
“Original” Turbo discs resolved this problem;
however, the Velcro
made disc removal difficult
and often wore out before the disc. Alpha Twistouch Turbo improves this popular polishing disc. It is
now safer and easier to use for flat granite polishing. Applications such as Straight Edge Polishing, Scratch
Removal, Floors (near walls, corners and staircases), Checks and Washes on Monuments, Chamfered
Edges, and Drain Boards can be done with ease using Alpha Twistouch Turbo. Fabricators,
monumentalists and restoration workers will love the results they obtain by using Alpha Twistouch Turbo.
The advanced “twist and lock” design gives the user better control during polishing, which allows for less
operator fatigue and better end results. Grits are easily changed thus increasing production capability. In
addition to the original selection of grits, we have added final buff discs to the Alpha Twistouch Turbo
series, which will improve your final polish results on any flat granite surface. Used as a wet polishing
system, Alpha Twistouch Turbo is a welcomed improvement for flat granite polishing applications.
ALPHA SANDPAPER
“For Marble Polishing”
Alpha Sandpaper discs consist of a
waterproof Velcro™ backed material combined
with a silicon carbide abrasive, which is the
perfect combination for use on marbles and
softer types of natural stone. Marble fabricators
find Alpha Sandpaper to be effective and
durable. Tile contractors find Alpha Sandpaper
to be very adaptable to onsite work and easy to
use. Restoration workers can polish wide areas
quickly without any hassle or difficulty. Alpha
Sandpaper is waterproof sandpaper that
resists clogging when used wet thus extending
the life of the disc. The discs can be used dry if necessary and are very durable. The Velcro™ makes disc
changes simple. Silicon Carbide is the abrasive of choice that is recommended for sanding and polishing
marble, travertine, terrazzo and onyx. Alpha Sandpaper can also be used to polish glass, metal and
wood.
For an extra high glossy finish, use the Alpha Felt Wheel with a buffing compound to finish the polishing
process.
