LEA COMPOUNDS
Description
Lea Compound is a uniform mixture of high quality
graded abrasive and glue in a greaseless bar form. It produces
both a highly decorative efficiently functional ‘satin’ finish.
It offers a high degree of flexibility, extreme efficiency and virtually no distortion of the original component shape.
Uses
Satin finishing, deburring, buffing and flexible
polishing. A wide range of Lea Compound is available based on aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, or a blend of graded abrasives..
AdLEAsive
Description
AdLEAsive
is a bonding glue for use with Lea Compound. Generally referred
to as "No: 3 Glue" it is black in colour for identification
purposes, and unlike the Lea Compound range, is abrasive-free.
Uses
AdLEAsive's prime function is to act as
an undercoat by preparing the mop for a more aggressive cutting
action where a less flexible grinding operation is required,
or to improve the cutting life of the Compound.
No: 3 Glue is particularly recommended for use on felt wheels or bobs. Felt wheels are made from compressed wool, which tends to retain much of its natural grease. No: 3 Glue has the ability to insulate this grease and provide the Lea Compound with a much improved base. It should be remembered not to allow the No: 3 Glue to be stripped back to the face of the felt wheel, as this will reduce the bonding properties of the Lea Compound and reduce the overall performance.
AdLEAsive No: 3 is also recommended when Lea Compound is used for stock removal, deburring or de-flashing or where sharp edges predominate.
GRAINLOCK Grade
CS, HD, & GB and PLASTIGLUE 9222
Description
Grainlock cement is supplied as a ready to use
viscous liquid.
It is non-toxic, has a low odour and can be used without pre-heating
or pre-soaking.
Grainlock is highly stable and is not affected by temperature
changes or prolonged storage.
Uses
Grainlock CS is a general purpose cement for use
with grain sizes 180 to 320 or finer. Final drying condition
is at least 16 hours at 65°C.
Grainlocks HD or GB are recommended for the most severe service, essentially for grain sizes 50 to 150. Final drying condition is at least 20 hours at 65°C.
Plastiglue 9222 is a "flexible bond" abrasive cement, giving greater flexibility for contoured components with significantly reduced vibration in use.
PLASTIBRADE
Description
LEA
Plastibrade is a pre-mixed combination of abrasive and cement.
Plastibrades are non-flammable, fast drying liquid abrasive compositions
for flexible polishing and deburring on all metals and a wide
range of plastics and wood.
Plastibrade Grey is available with aluminium oxide abrasives
ranging in grit sizes from 60 to 120. It is particularly suitable
for all fine satin finishing or where a low and even micro finish
is required.
Lea Plastibrade Red has considerably more flexibility than LEA
Plastibrade Grey and is available in aluminium oxide and fine
powders in grit sizes 120 to 400
Unique to LEA is the SC (silicon carbide) range in 60 to 220 grits, for the finishing of duplex and marine stainless steels, titanium, and high performance nickel alloys such as inconel and nimonic.
Uses
De-burring, polishing and satin finishing.
Available in a wide range of grain sizes, usually used on bobs
and set-up wheels for scurfing operations.
Our technical representatives can advise on spray application of Plastibrade.
