Description
Overview
The Padco 6018 is an 18-inch heavyweight floor-coating applicator for spreading waterborne and solvent-based finishes. Its weighted design lays down a thinner coating than Padco’s lightweight applicator, making the weight choice important when matching the coating’s required film build.
Features
- Cushioned squeegee action spreads finish evenly over large floor areas.
- Swivel handgrip accepts standard threaded extension poles.
- Listed normal application rate is approximately 10,000 square feet per hour; actual output depends on the job.
Specifications
- Model: 6018
- Width: 18 inches
- Weight class: Heavyweight
- Pole connection: Standard threaded extension pole
- Applicator pad: Sold separately
Applications
Use with a suitable pad and finish on hardwood, concrete, stone, tile or vinyl flooring. Open residential and commercial floors, hallways and gym floors are typical settings where the wide applicator can reduce repeated passes.
Selection and Use
- Select a pad suitable for the finish; the applicator pad is sold separately.
- Use the heavyweight version for thinner application. Padco’s lightweight design lays down a heavier coating.
- Follow the coating manufacturer’s coverage and film-thickness requirements rather than treating the applicator’s hourly production figure as a coating coverage rate.
