Diamax Dryflex Dry Polishing Pad – 4 in., 1500 Grit, Velcro Back
Diamax Dryflex Dry Polishing Pad – 4 in., 1500 Grit, Velcro Back
The Diamax Dryflex Dry Polishing Pad is a 4 in. velcro-back diamond polishing pad in 1500 grit, for dry polishing granite on an angle grinder or air polisher, and for wet polishing engineered stone.
This is the original Dryflex, which Diamax's dealers also list as Dryflex Premium. The part number ends in B; the lower-cost Dryflex II uses the same numbering with an E suffix (PDH41500E), so the trailing letter decides which pad arrives.
Key Features

Not Recommended For
Dry polishing engineered stone: Diamax rates this line wet only on that material, so run water on quartz. For a full wet ladder use the Diamax Hurricane 3 Step Wet Polishing Pad – 4 in.
Who Is This For?
Fabricators and installers who dry polish granite edges and touch-ups on site, and shops that want the higher-grade Dryflex rather than the economy Dryflex II.
