Color Buffing Compound



Kocour Color Buffing Compounds are classed as:

White Color Buffing Compound for Non-Ferrous Metals

Intended for buffing non-ferrous metals where the work surface is in good condition, free of deep tool or die marks. When heavy marks are present, a cutting compound is generally used to first, cut down the surface. A second buffing operation is then performed using a white coloring compound to produce a highly reflective finish. (Coloring buffing compound is also excellent for buffing brass plated parts to a clear bright luster.) Typically used with whole disk loose buffs, bias airway buffs or flannel coloring buffs.

Rouge Buffing Compound for Non-Ferrous Metals

Primarily used on non-ferrous metals, red and green rouges are called for when the metal must be buffed to a pure, unblemished, fully reflective luster. Red rouges are often used on hardware articles which are to be clear coated such as doorknobs, cabinet hardware and the very finest plumbing fixtures. Green rouges are often used as a final step on stainless steel and aluminum items. Used with only the softest buff material such as canton flannel, domet flannel and seamless bias buffs.

Chrome Color Buffing Compound

This type of compound was originally developed to color buff chromium plated work to a higher, brighter luster, and to remove stains and burn marks from plating. It is now extensively used to bring up a mirror finish on steel and stainless after the metal has first been buffed with a steel cutting compound. Chrome rouges are also used for some nonferrous metal and plastic coloring operations. Used with whole disk and bias flannel and soft grades of bias cotton buffs.

A NOTE ABOUT TRIPOLI AND OTHER CRYSTALLINE SILICA CONTAINING COMPOUNDS:

A NOTE ABOUT TRIPOLI AND OTHER CRYSTALLINE SILICA CONTAINING COMPOUNDS:

Historically Tripoli has been considered the best cut and color compound for non-ferrous metals. The name “tripoli compound” is the common term used. However, the raw material tripoli is composed of crystalline silica, a known carcinogen, and; if improperly handled, a significant health hazard. In the past Kocour Company has offered compound formulated with the raw material tripoli as well as other crystalline silica raw materials.

To better serve our customers in today’s regulatory intensive environment, Kocour Company has formulated equivalent compounds that contain no detectable free crystalline silica.

No Kocour Company buffing and polishing compound contains free crystalline silica as an ingredient.
