Alpha Ceramica Buff
Alpha Ceramica Buff is the ultimate solution for achieving a deep, glossy finish that goes far beyond a standard polished edge. Unlike other polishing systems, these pads require minimal water and use a natural process to bring out a brilliant shine—eliminating the need for dangerous chemicals.
Fabricators rely on Alpha Ceramica Buff to consistently deliver superior results, while tile contractors are impressed by the remarkable difference between a polished edge and the mirror-like gloss these pads provide. Monumentalists appreciate the exceptional, customer-demanded shine that only Alpha Ceramica Buff can achieve.
Engineered as heat-compressed discs, Alpha Ceramica Buff combines tin oxide and aluminum oxide powders with natural fibers in a flexible disc. Available in black for dark stones and white for light stones, they are the only pads capable of producing a “better than factory” finish. The Black Buff disc is particularly effective on black granites such as Black Pearl, while using both black and white discs in sequence creates an especially brilliant, super-high gloss.
A consistent performer, Alpha Ceramica Buff is designed for wet granite hand polishing and delivers unmatched professional quality every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I use the Alpha® Ceramica Buff on?
Alpha® Ceramica Buff is designed for use on granite and some marbles.
Can I use Alpha® Ceramica Buff on engineered stone material?
No. Ceramica Buff should not be used on engineered stone material. The purpose of using Ceramica Buff is to generate heat build-up to create high gloss and color on natural stone. Using Ceramica Buff on engineered stone may over-heat the engineered stone causing the material to turn white.
In what sizes are Ceramica Buff offered in?
Alpha® Ceramica Buff discs are available in 3”, 4” and 5”.
What is the RPM range at which I should use the Alpha® Ceramica Buff?
Ceramica Buff should not exceed 4,000 RPM.
What tools should the Alpha® Ceramica Buff discs be used on?
Alpha® recommends central water-feed polishers such as the Alpha® AIR-680 and VSP-320.
Can I use Alpha® Ceramica Buff completely dry without using any water?
No. Alpha® Ceramica Buff discs are designed to work with a little water and we always recommend applying water on the material before using the discs. Once you apply water to the material, turn off the water supply and start the buffing process. When the water starts to evaporate, the Ceramica Buff disc will create friction on the material, which will cause the material to start to heat-up and create the high gloss and color.
Which type of backer pad should I use with Ceramica Buff, Flexible or Rigid?
Alpha® recommends using Flexible Backer pads with Ceramica Buff. The flexibility of the rubber backer pad will help the Ceramica Buff disc to heat-up the material quicker.
Can I use my Ceramica Buff disc for flat area buffing?
For flat surface buffing, Alpha® recommends the Twistouch Turbo discs. The Twistouch Turbo Buff is rigid and will not pick up any stone debris which could create tiny fine scratches on the surface of the material.
What is the difference between the Black and White Buffs?
The Black Buff is designed for darker stones such as Absolute Black and the White Buff is designed to be used for lighter color granites.
