Finishing Compounds

A mild alkaline base, general-purpose abrasive compound made with iron-free white aluminum oxide. Gives long, aggressive and sustained cut on even the hardest metals. Results in light color and yields a relatively smooth surface finish.

A very mild alkaline fine-finishing compound for fast reduction of micro-inch readings on relatively smooth surfaces. The abrasive constituent is a slightly coarse abrasive flour for use in vibratory finishing. Excellent for restoring virgin metal color in short time cycles after longer abrasive cut-down runs or in preparation for burnishing. In controlled velocity equipment or vibrators, No. 42 is excellent for light deburring with good finish on all metals or alloys.

An all-purpose compound in powder form imparting beautiful virgin metal color and high gloss to all metals and alloys when used on clean surfaces. No. 43 is a mild alkaline multi-burnish compound with outstanding lubricating, cushioning, soil suspending, and lustering properties, surpassing many specialty compounds. No. 43 works well with any media and leaves no film on the work. It performs equally well in vibratory or controlled finishing equipment.

An all-purpose liquid burnishing compound designed to yield unsurpassed color and luster on non-ferrous metals and alloys. It also works on ferrous metals. The archived catalog reports strong results with steel ball burnishing on zinc and aluminum in vibratory and barrel finishing equipment. It will not work in high concentration. No. 45 is used in high dilution with abrasive or non-abrasive media for deburring and cleaning.

A slightly alkaline liquid burnishing and cleaning compound. It is used for burnishing, deburring, and cleaning all types of metals and alloys across a wide range of applications. It is ideal for flow-through systems and applies to vibratory and barrel finishing. For zinc and aluminum die cast, the archived catalog directs users to No. 45 Burnishing Compound.

A liquid burnishing compound fortified with water-based solvents to increase cleaning and degreasing power. It is intended for steel media burnishing of brass, bronze, and related alloys, especially with high soil and oil loading. It also works for burnishing aluminum, zinc die cast parts, and other items with high lead content. It keeps media bright and clean.

A steel media burnishing compound for brass, bronze, and related alloys. The archived catalog also lists aluminum, zinc die cast parts, and other items with high lead content. This product works with steel media only and is ineffective with other media types.

An all-purpose liquid cleaner developed for ferrous metals and also used with other metals and alloys. It lowers surface tension and serves as a general-purpose cleaner and degreaser. It keeps media clean.

A multi-purpose mildly alkaline granular powder. It is highly concentrated and water soluble. It was designed for ferrous metals and can be used in low concentrations with abrasive or non-abrasive media for cleaning and deburring softer metals and alloys such as zinc and aluminum. It keeps media clean and free cutting, supports color, and acts as a degreaser. When pre-dissolved, it serves as a flow-through compound. It also neutralizes after acid descaling.

A highly concentrated alkaline cleaning, degreasing, neutralizing, washing, and anti-corrosive compound in granulated powder form. It is for vibrators, tumbling barrels, dip tanks, and metal washing machines. Its alkalinity limits No. 50 to ferrous metals. It is used for short cycle degreasing, neutralizing after acid descaling, and removing abrasive films and sludge after long cutting runs. It is also used with abrasive media or compound in short deburring cycles. Continuous exclusive use will attack gum rubber liners.

A mild alkaline, highly concentrated liquid general-purpose compound designed for ferrous metals and also used on several non-ferrous metals. It produces excellent color and brightness on zinc based and aluminum die castings, phosphor bronze, and other alloys when used as directed at a maximum concentration of 1 ounce per gallon of water. It is suited to flow-through use in batch, semi-automated batch, and fully automated continuous vibratory equipment. Its balanced formula supports abrasive and non-abrasive media. It cleans, brightens, lubricates, and degreases with corrosion inhibiting properties.

A proprietary water soluble corrosion inhibiting product designed for ferrous metal surfaces. It is non-flammable and goes into solution. It is intended for final rinse use in spray washer systems or for soak tank applications.
