Each pad is strictly single-use — dispose of after one client. Remove the used pad from the MBE-10 base and place it in a covered waste bin. Dispose of with general salon waste according to your local council regulations. Clean and disinfect the MBE-10 base between clients. Store unused pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the abrasive coating.

FAQs

How do I use the PapmAm system?

The PapmAm system is designed for quick, hygienic nail filing. Simply slide the disposable file onto your reusable base (metal, plastic, or wooden) — no glue required. The file grips the base securely during use. After the service, slide it off and dispose of it. Apply a fresh file for each new client. For wooden-base files (DWC/DWCE), the file comes pre-attached to a lightweight birch wood base and is ready to use straight from the pack.

Which PapmAm files fit which base?

PapmAm files are sized to match specific bases. Size 20 files (standard straight, 120-140mm) fit bases MBE-20, SPBE-20, and WBE-20. Size 22 files (broad straight, 140-162mm) also fit size 20 bases — they are a wider format for better coverage. Wooden-base files (DWC, DWCE, DWCMix, DWCEMix) come with their own integrated birch wood base, so no separate base is needed.

How do I choose the right grit for PapmAm files?

Choose your grit based on the task: 100 grit (coarse) is for shaping and shortening artificial nails. 150 grit (medium) is for general shaping of thick natural nails and finishing artificial nails. 180 grit (universal) is the most versatile — ideal for shaping and finishing both natural and artificial nails. 240 grit (fine) is for smoothing, prep before coating, and gentle work on natural nails. For dual-grit Mix files (100/180), use the coarse side for shaping and the fine side for finishing in one tool.

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.

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.
