Abrasive Powders and Compounds for Special Processes

At ActOn we have developed a range of specialist compounds that achieve high specification surface finishes:

Turbocut: a neutral special compound ideal for harden steel, great for rapid removal of surface defects on ferrous parts. The result is a smooth surface ready for post processing applications such as plating or painting.
Chemcut: used for removing of grinding, linishing and machine marks. We recommend it for finishing parts made out of steel, hardened steel and certain stainless steels, as it gives rapid metal cut-down and levelling. Produces a super smooth surface, ready for polishing and elector-plating if required.

Technical Specifications

Compound Name	Description	pH
A0	An aggressive, coarse, concentrated, abrasive compound, used on harder metals for grinding, radiusing and the removal of heavy machine marks and burrs. Used with an abrasive media, it leaves the surface of parts with a shot-blast appearance.	9-10
A1	A fast-cutting compound for heavy deburring and, combined with cleaning agents, it is mainly used for ferrous components, brass cuttings and pressings. Leaves the surface with a matte finish.	11-12
A2	A medium, abrasive compound that is combined with cleaning agents.	11-12
A3	A light deburring compound combined with cleaning agents for fine surface finishing of all materials, but mainly used on soft metals like zinc, brass or aluminium. It can also be used to bring back the surface on ceramic media which is contaminated.	10-11
A7	It is a light grinding compound for cutting down and polishing that contains an extremely fine abrasive, which during the process breaks down into a slurry. This assists the polishing ingredients to impart a polished surface.	9-10
35F	This is used for the cutting and polishing of non-ferrous metals and contains a soft abrasive with polishing agents.	5-6
P6	It is used for polishing copper and its alloys with non-abrasive media. A silky foam lather is built which enhances the polishing process.	9-10
P51	A polishing compound for aluminium with extra brightening and polishing agents giving superb results. Mainly used with steel media or plastic media to give a semi polished matte finish.	9-10
P71	It produces a clean, bright lustre and keeps the metal in solution allowing the process to continue for long periods. This is suitable for zinc and zinc alloys. Mainly used with non-abrasive media.	9-10
C1	Used to remove grease, oils and lubricating fluids leaving metal components clean and ready for further processes.	12-13
C4	Used for cleaning of ferrous components and can be used with all types of media.	12-13
C5	It keeps processes free of grease and oil. Good rust inhibitor. Mainly used on ferrous components.	12-13
C6	Cleaning compound with brightening and is used on ferrous components to give a clean bright surface finish. It contains a strong rust inhibitor. Abrasive and polishing media can be used with C6 compound.	11-12
ActoClean BT (C7)	Used mainly on ferrous components to give a clean surface finish. It contains strong rust inhibitor.	11-12
C50	Suitable for processing all metals. Copes with all types of oily and greasy components. Contains corrosion inhibitor and can be used with all types of media.	10-11
