What is the difference between buffing and polishing compound?

Polishing Compound is a chemical agent used for surface polishing and grinding, commonly used for the treatment of materials such as metals, plastics, glass, stone, etc., to improve their appearance and luster.

The main function of a polishing compound is to fill in small defects and scratches, remove surface oxide and dirt, and form a smooth protective layer. When used in conjunction with the polishing buff wheel on the Polishing Machine, it can improve the brightness, gloss, and transparency of the object, making its surface smoother and more delicate. Polishing agents can also restore and damage the surface, restoring its original brightness and aesthetics.

The components of polishing compound usually include abrasives, additives, and solvents. Abrasives are the main active ingredients that have the functions of grinding and grinding, removing surface defects and oxide layers. Additives can improve the lubricity, fluidity, and stability of polishing agents,. Solvents are used to dilute and adjust the concentration and viscosity of polishing agents.

Different types of materials and surfaces require the use of different formulations of polishing liquid compound. For example, Metal Polishing Compound typically contain metal powder as abrasives, while stone polishing agents contain abrasives such as quartz powder or alumina. In addition, the thickness of the polishing agent can also be selected according to specific needs to achieve the desired polishing.
