A Guide to Buffing Compounds and Their Uses

BA BENCHMARK ABRASIVES A GUIDE TO BUFFING COMPOUNDS AND THEIR USES WHAT IS THE BUFFING COMPOUND ? Buffing compounds are abrasive compounds composed of polishing powder blended to form a cake or bar with waxes and fats . They are used to smooth metals in many industries to give a clean and polished finish and improve the polishing and buffing wheel's effectiveness . TYPES OF BUFFING COMPOUNDS • Black Emery Compound Grey Star Buffing Compound • Brown Tripoli ● White Rouge • Green Rouge • Blue Rouge • Pink Rouge • Aluminum Buffing Compound • Yellow Rouge • Gold Polishing Compound ● HOW TO USE POLISHING COMPOUND ? Apply the polishing compound to the face of a rotating buffing wheel sparingly . Repeat compound application as needed during buffing and polishing operations . Applying the rotating buff to the work surface uses only moderate pressure , allowing the buffing wheel and the polishing compound to do the work . HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT POLISHING COMPOUND ? Polishing compounds are somehow equivalent to sandpaper as they are used from coarse to fine . Before polishing , a workpiece that is heavily scratched can have to be sanded down with sandpaper . When the scratch depth on the workpiece is minimal , it is recommended to start with the coarsest compound that applies to the polishing material . Then one can step down to the next buffing compound from there and so on until the desired finish is reached .
