The Kovax Assilex Foam Pad in 150mm offers increased flexibility when sanding thanks to its dense foam and soft edges. The pad features 15 holes for dust extraction and hook & loop attachment, allowing sanding discs to follow curves and uneven surfaces better than a hard backing plate. It fits 150mm non-woven sanding materials with standard hook & loop attachment.

The foam pad acts as a protective layer for the sanding pad and hook & loop attachment, while also contributing to a smoother and more controlled sanding result. It is suitable both for professional use in the vehicle reconditioning industry and for home workshops. See more sanding discs and pads to complement the pad.

What makes the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad a strong choice for sanding curved surfaces?

The soft foam construction allows the sanding disc to conform to the shape of the work surface instead of sitting rigidly against it. This reduces the risk of uneven sanding and localised excess pressure, particularly when working on curved bodywork panels or other uneven profiles. The combination of dense foam and soft edges provides a more controlled feel, whether used by hand or with a machine.

Applications for the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad

• Sanding curved bodywork panels and profiles
• Intermediate sanding before painting or polishing
• Hand sanding where a soft support surface is required
• Machine sanding with 150mm sanding discs and hook & loop attachment
• Working on uneven or curved surfaces in vehicle care

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad work with all types of 150mm sanding discs?

Yes, the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad fits all 150mm sanding discs with hook & loop attachment, including non-woven sanding materials. It does not work with sanding discs that lack hook & loop attachment or have a diameter other than 150mm. The pad is intended as an intermediate layer between the sanding pad and the sanding disc, not as a standalone sanding tool.

How is the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad cleaned and maintained?

The pad is easiest to clean by brushing off dust and sanding particles from the hook & loop surface after use. The Kovax Assilex Foam Pad should be stored dry and protected from direct sunlight to preserve the flexibility of the foam over time. If visible wear appears on the hook & loop attachment or the edges, replacement is recommended to maintain a consistent sanding result.

What is the difference between the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad and a hard backing plate?

The difference lies in the flexibility: the Kovax Assilex Foam Pad has dense foam with soft edges that conform to curved surfaces, whereas a hard backing plate sits rigidly against the surface. This makes the foam pad more suitable for curved profiles and uneven details, while a hard plate is better suited to completely flat surfaces. See also more Kovax sanding and polishing products.
