Products for Polishing and Buffing

Grease Bars

Polishing bars also known as grease bars are the most efficient way of heading up polishing mops.

They can be used for bright finishing, colouring, buffing, high lustre or mirror polishing, but also for prepolishing and when metal removal is as important as reflection.

Pastes

Polishing pastes also known as emulsions or liquids are the best way to polish large volume parts in conjunction with advanced machinery.

They are primarily used in automatic applications where a machine needs to dose the mop head or where a mop head is too large for the operator to interact with.

This method enables precise dosing to give the best consistency and repeatability in precision and high volume parts and is a safer form of application in mechanical polishing.

Bottles of Polish

Sometimes the task requires the convenience to add a squeeze of polish by hand. Away from the production line either working on site or on a boat, automatic spray systems are just not possible.

We have a range of products to suit this purpose adding a little bit of polish where and when it is wanted.

Greaseless Bars

Greaseless bars such as Lea Compound are used to create a hard abrasive coating on a flexible mop allowing for a range of decorative finishes and flexible grinding and polishing. It has many technical advantages from being much more economical than using coated abrasives or abrasive wheels to being more convenient and cleaner than cement and grit. This method leaves clean parts allowing much easier subsequent processes. Wheels can be used of various sizes and be shaped to allow ultimate access to a part.

Lubricants

Bobbing greases are lubricants that are used with abrasive belts, plastibrade, scurfs and bobs. They reduce heat and allow the abrasive tool to supply a more consistent finish throughout its life.

Buffs and Mops

A polishing mop is not just a bearer of polishing abrasive to a part. The design and construction of the wheel can be imperative in establishing the best process in terms of efficiency and surface finish.

Our expertise in being able to design the correct buff for you and then make it bespoke (rather than taking an ‘off the shelf’ can make a real difference to your polishing.

Barrelling Products

Barrelling is the most cost effective method of finishing high volume small parts. The materials that are suitable are acrylic, nylon but also wood and horn and even some die castings work well.

Our Emslie Fallows range are designed to work on barrels that slowly turn and slide the parts through gentle abrasive coated wooden media. The coating is achieved by using our special pastes or by an abrasive powder with binding fluid. The overall effect is gentle but over time can leave a beautiful finish.
