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.
