ActOn Finishing Compounds’ Functions

  • Suspending the dirt, oils and media residues and flushing them from the system.
  • Keeping the components and media clean, which brings stability to the process.
  • Can act as corrosion inhibitor.
  • ActOn polishing compounds are great for brightening of different materials.
  • Can remove post heat treatment scale.
  • Act as lubricants, thus extending the media life.
  • Control the solution pH.
  • Will separate and cushion parts during the finishing process, thus avoiding component damage.

Choosing the Correct Compound

When choosing a compound there are 3 considerations:

Process requirements: Such as parts that need a compound with corrosion inhibitor, flat parts that can stick to each other in process will require a separating compound; or removal of heavy machine marks and burrs can be accelerated using an ActOn powder compound.

Finish requirement: From removing heat treatment, descaling, cleaning to brightening, polishing, burnishing and more.

Component material: ActOn has special formulated compounds for both ferrous and non-ferrous parts.
