Surfaces

Menzerna offers the right solid polishing compound for all materials. Every surface poses its own requirements for the polishing agent. We are industrial polishing specialists. Menzerna knows what ingredients need to be combined for the respective material in order to obtain the desired surface quality. The goal: Consistently high surface quality in the shortest time.

The demands regarding the quality of the surface finish are different for every surface. Only a high gloss counts on coatings, especially when it comes to dark colours. Precious metals become jewellery only if they are polished to a flawless deep gloss. Even the smallest signs of fading and polishing marks are unacceptable on household goods such as cookware and cutlery. Semi-gloss or brushed surfaces are among the possible polishing goals for aluminium. On brass fittings, the adhesion of residues that are difficult to remove must be prevented so the degreasing bath in electroplating is not contaminated. As a specialist for industrial polishing, we know what ingredients have to be combined in order to achieve the desired surface quality – on any material.

The choice of polishing parameters suited for the surface and work piece geometry as well as the correct selection of roughing are important basic requirements for success in polishing. Too coarse or long sanding always increases the polishing time as well. Especially on coatings, this usually leads to high work piece temperatures causing surface wear. Menzerna high-performance solid compounds are optimised for coated surfaces. It effectively dissipates heat and adheres better to the polishing wheel. Greasier polishing pastes tend to be used for polishing stainless steel. This prevents excessive heating and distortion of the work piece. When polishing brass, polishing defects only become visible in subsequent electroplating. The gloss of chrome on sanitary fittings is only brought out to its best advantage by proper advance polishing. When polishing aluminium, this is the case after anodising. Menzerna high-performance pastes are individually tailored to the surface requirements. Low scrap rates are achieved as a result. Industrial users can rely on that.
