Aluminum/Brass Compound


Aluminum/Brass Compound
These familiar reddish-brown colored "bricks" of compound are most widely used for cutting down and bringing out high luster on non-ferrous metals. Fast cutting and bright coloring action makes these compounds the best choice for buffing all types of zinc die castings, copper plated work and aluminum castings and stampings. A greasy grade is generally selected for coarse work because the extra percentage of grease binders keep the compound on the buff face longer increasing the cutting action. Lighter, drier grades are used for cut and color operations or for light coloring before electroplating. These compounds are practical with any type of buffing wheel, but generally used on a tight, spiral sewed, pocket or bias type buff.

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.
