Liquid Burnishing Compounds
Liquid burnishing compounds are employed to enhance the reflective quality of a surface by imparting lubrication to the media and cushioning the parts from impingement. These compounds can also regulate the color of the part, eliminate oxides, and prevent corrosion. With one of the most comprehensive selections of burnishing compounds, Finishing Rx has a solution for any of your finishing needs.
