PCD Coating Removal Diamonds

PCD, or Polycrystalline Diamond, is an ideal material for floor coating removal, designed to aggressively strip away tough coatings from concrete surfaces, including epoxy, paint, glue, and other adhesives.

PCD tools are highly effective due to their extreme hardness and sharp cutting edges, allowing them to scrape and grind coatings quickly without gumming up or wearing down prematurely. These tools are commonly used in floor preparation processes to expose bare concrete, making them a top choice for dealing with stubborn coatings.

In our buying guide for choosing the right PCD coating removal diamonds, we listed 7 things you may need to know. Here we introduce it briefly.

1. Understanding PCD: PCD stands for Polycrystalline Diamond, a synthetic diamond material known for its extreme hardness and durability. PCD tools are highly effective for removing tough floor coatings like epoxy, paint, and adhesives due to their aggressive cutting action.

2. PCD Structure & Size: PCD used for floor coating removal typically has two layers: a thin layer of PCD and a thick layer of tungsten carbide for support and durability. The size of the PCD—whether full round, 1/2 round, 1/4 round, or 1/8 round—affects its performance. Larger PCDs are more aggressive and suited for heavy-duty removal, while smaller PCDs are better for precision tasks.

3. Welding Type: PCD can be welded normally or reversed, especially in smaller sizes like 1/4 and 1/8 round. Reversed welding may be preferred for specific applications.

4. PCD Composition: PCD tools can be pure PCD or combined with other materials like sacrificial segments or tungsten carbide teeth (TCT). These combinations can adjust the tool's aggressiveness and suitability for different coating thicknesses.

5. Rotation Direction: Unlike regular grinding shoes, PCD shoes have a specific rotation direction—clockwise or anticlockwise—due to the layered structure of PCD. The correct rotation direction ensures effective coating removal.

By understanding these factors, you can select the right PCD coating removal diamonds that best suit your specific floor preparation needs.

While PCD tools are designed to be aggressive in removing coatings, they typically do not cause significant damage to the underlying concrete surface. However, some surface profiling or slight roughness may occur, especially if the tool is used with excessive pressure. Proper technique and controlled use can minimize potential surface damage.

Additionally, if you're concerned that the tools might damage the concrete surface, you can choose PCD tools with sacrificial segments. These segments limit the cutting depth and help protect the concrete.

Absolutely, we offer strong support for customized orders. We already have developed a wide range of PCD tools for different floor grinders. If you only need to customize the PCD quantity, size, and layout on standard PCD tools, it's not too hard.

However, if your floor grinding machine is unique, we will need to confirm the tool drawing before proceeding. Ideally, you can provide us with the drawing directly. However, if that's not possible, you can send us a sample, and we will create the product drawing base on your sample, and then manufacture unique PCD tools for your machine.

We offer two main OEM services for our PCD floor coating removal tools: color painting and label printing. Label printing includes your logo, specifications, and more. For bulk orders, we also provide OEM packaging services.

Here we sort a series of our general painting colors for your reference. You can choose the color from the chart or customize other painting colors by providing us with the code of Pantone colors or others
