Surface Demon™ is the next-generation solution that completes The Diamond Devil® Concrete & Terrazzo Restoration and Polishing System. Its patent pending design features independent floating heads paired with specially formulated diamond cup wheels to create a uniform profile, perfect for preparing concrete and terrazzo floors for polishing. This chemical-free solution uses only water, ensuring safe and effective results.
Concrete Applications: Transition smoothly from Mastic Demon® coating removal to a superior polished finish. The patent pending independent floating heads keep the Diamond Cup Wheels in constant contact with the concrete, reducing the deep scratches created by Mastic Demon®, and perfectly prepping concrete for polish. Achieve a high shine and superior image gloss with the Diamond Devil® 3+1 polishing system, without the use of coatings.
Terrazzo Chemical-Free Stripping Applications: Strip up to 5 coats of floor finish, 2 coats of floor sealer, or 1 coat of urethane—chemical-free, using only water—to prep terrazzo floors for polishing. Achieve a high shine and superior image gloss with the Diamond Devil® 3+1 polishing system, without the use of wax, floor finish, sealer, or urethane. Warning: To prevent damage to cementitious terrazzo, monitor the slurry for color changes. If the slurry becomes dark or non-transparent, you’ve reached the floor and need to stop.
*Surface Demon™ performs best when used with Malish Diamond Cup Wheels.
A: Yes, replacement Diamond Cup Wheels can be purchased.
A: Yes, replacement Floating Head Assemblies can be purchased.
A: A very light scratch pattern and a surface profile in the CSP1 range.
A: You do not but, if a chemical stripper is needed to cut through heavy coatings, the tool works with it.
A: Currently 16″ thru 20″
A: Example on a walk behind: If you have a 36″ machine and it takes a set of (2) 18″ brushes, then the same is true with the Surface Demon™ Polish Prep Tool.
A: Yes, Surface Demon™ will remove light sealers and floor finishes on concrete and cementitious terrazzo without the use of harsh chemicals.
A: For concrete Surface Demon™ will remove light sealers, and for cementitious terrazzo it will remove floor sealer (up to 2 coats), floor finish (up to 5 coats), and urethan (1 coat) using only water and prepping the floor for polish.
A: Yes, for cementitious terrazzo, Surface Demon™ will remove floor sealer (up to 2 coats), floor finish (up to 5 coats), and urethan (1 coat) using only water and prepping the floor for polishing.
A: When the slurry begins to change color from transparent milky color to a dark slurry, you have reached the floor and need to stop. Rinse thoroughly and begin the Blue Grind Tool, which is the first step in the Diamond Devil® Polishing System.
A: First it is important to note that Mastic Demon® is only for use on concrete and is designed to remove mastic, glue, adhesive, thin-set, thin mill epoxy paint and more, while leaving an improved surface profile on the floor for an epoxy re-coat or for a new floor lay. On concrete, Surface Demon™ will only remove light sealers.
For cementitious terrazzo Surface Demon™ will remove floor sealer (up to 2 coats), floor finish (up to 5 coats), and urethan (1 coat) using only water and prepping the floor for polishing.
• Important Note: Never use Mastic Demon® on cementitious terrazzo floors as floor damage will occur.
A: Multiple coats beyond recommended norms can still be removed with Surface Demon™. It will take additional passes to obtain the results required to polish after that. Surface Demon™ is not designed to remove mastic, thin-set, carpet glue, epoxy, and paint (1 part or 2 part), however typical topicals like clear sealer, floor finish, urethane, etc. can be removed.
A: Surface Demon™ provides a significant advantage by mechanically stripping cementitious terrazzo using only water. However, in situations where multiple coats of topical products have built up due to inadequate maintenance, it can also be effectively used with strippers without causing any adverse effects.
A: Surface Demon™ will initially produce a white, transparent slurry when removing topicals. Once the slurry darkens and becomes non-transparent, it indicates that you’ve reached the floor and should stop.
A: Yes, Surface Demon™ sizes start at 16 inches, so dual-head scrubbers that accommodate two 16-inch tools and larger will work with Surface Demon™.
A: No, Surface Demon™ tools are not directional and can spin both ways.
A: Yes, in fact, Surface Demon™ and The Diamond Devil® polishing tools can accommodate less deck pressure than other systems (as low as 85lbs of deck pressure).
A: Yes, oversize the low-speed floor machine with a riser to bring the tool outside of the deck for easy edging. For example: Use a 20″ tool with a riser on a 20″ low-speed floor machine.
A: No, the Surface Demon™ quickly removes topicals using only water. It will initially produce a white, transparent slurry. When the slurry darkens and becomes non-transparent, it indicates that you’ve reached the floor and should stop.
