Granite is categorized as an igneous type of rock because of its strength and resistance to damages. The discs for granite polishing must not only smoothen the surface of the granite, but also remove a certain amount of material to achieve precision. The abrasives used for the manufacture of the discs are diamonds most of the time and in some cases, very hard abrasives like silicon carbide. In the course of stone working, the polishing disc has been established and, is often used for polishing granite monuments, countertops and floors. The polishing procedure not only enhances the color and design of the granite, but, increases its resistance against scratching and staining as well. The granite products become more valuable due to the finishing that can be achieved with a polishing disc, making them suitable for lavish market uses.
