The binders and greases in the conventional compound have a relatively high melting point since they have to withstand higher temperatures generated when using high speed and pressure associated with conventional buffing. Consequently, if one uses conventional bar compound the binder and greases in the compound tend to deposit on the part as black streaks. New buffing compounds have been developed that melt at lower temperatures. These new compounds eliminate the deposits caused by conventional bar compound. The new compounds have the added benefit of much easier removal in subsequent cleaning operations. The residual compound film on the part melts at a much lower temperature facilitating removal in aqueous cleaning baths. Another benefit is the extremely long buff life, 4 to 5 months, depending on the job. Longer life translates into a much cleaner buffing operation.             Back
