These disposable files are strictly single-use. After each client, peel the used file from the base and dispose of it in a covered waste bin. Clean and disinfect the reusable crescent base between clients using a salon-grade disinfectant solution. Do not attempt to wash or reuse disposable files. The foam layer is not washable.

FAQs

How do I choose the right grit for nail files?

Grit indicates coarseness: 80 grit is extra coarse for artificial nails and heavy shaping, 100 grit is coarse for artificial nail work, 150 grit is medium for general shaping, 180 grit is universal for both natural and artificial nails, 240 grit is fine for smoothing and pre-coating prep, and 400/3000 grit is for polishing. For natural nails, always use 180 grit or higher to avoid damage. For artificial nails or acrylics, 80-150 grit files work best.

Which crescent file refills fit my base?

STALEKS crescent file refills come in two widths. Size 40 refills (DF-40 and DFEX-40 series) fit the MBE-40, SPBE-40, and ABE-40 crescent bases. Size 42 refills (DF-42 and DFEX-42 series) are the broader format and also fit MBE-40 and SPBE-40 bases. Smart refills use aluminium oxide abrasive, while Expert (DFEX) refills feature premium abrasive on a soft foam base for cushioned filing with less pressure on the nail plate. Always match the refill size number to your base size number.

How should disposable PapmAm files be disposed of?

PapmAm files are strictly single-use — one file per client for optimal hygiene. After use, place the file in a covered waste bin and dispose of it with general salon waste according to your local council regulations. Never reuse a disposable file between clients, even if it appears clean. Store unused files in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the abrasive coating.
