Cloth, NOTIFLEX ®
Buffs and Mops

LIPPERT-UNIPOL polishing buffs are made from different types of cotton cloth, often manufactured specifically for the surface treatment industry.









This diagram shows the arrangement of the warp and weft threads at a 45° angle to the tangent, a result of the previous biasing process. This hinders fraying and increases service life.

Typical Features:
• the number of warp and weft threads
• strength and diameter of the individual threads
• correct impregnation (when necessary)
