Osborn produces a very wide range of polishing compounds in liquid and solid form. These excellent quality compounds are a natural complement to the various polishing tools presented in the previous pages. Our technical teams are at your disposal to advise you and help you define the most suitable compound for your application.
Liquid compounds are mainly used on automatic polishing machines. The use of a liquid compound allows a polishing operation at a lower temperature. The paste is stored in pressurized tanks or reusable containers with diaphragm pumps. For industrial productions using large quantities, a centralized feeding system ensures a continuous flow of product, reduces downtime and increases productivity.
Originally, compounds were only used for manual polishing on a lathe. This is still one of its main uses today and traditionally very important at Osborn. The increasing use of polishing robots with adapted bar formats also makes it possible to achieve economical polishing for small and medium series and complicated high-precision parts. Osborn offers "special bars" in all existing widths. Suitable for industrial and individual use, for example for manual machines, Osborn offers you products that are widely approved on an industrial scale, in various shapes and dimensions.
