LB-852 Finishing Compound
LB-852 is a moderately acidic finishing compound specifically formulated to achieve optimum color and bright surfaces. It is normally used with steel media for burnishing or deburring ferrous and non-ferrous metals in flow through vibratory finishing operations. It can also be used with other media in specific cut-down operations. LB- 852 contains no harsh ingredients. When used as directed, LB-852 will provide maximum life to steel media and thus can save thousands of dollars in media replacement cost.

Usage and Dilution Instructions
For most conditions use 1/2 to 1 ounce per gallon of water. Water flow rate for most situations should be 2 gallons per hour per cubic foot of mass in the machine. For example a 20 cubic foot vibratory machine should require a flow rate of 40 gallons per hour. This product provides excellent corrosion protection for steel media overnight or over the weekend. If machine is not used for prolonged periods of time, additional corrosion protection may be required using a corrosion inhibitor such as our PR-100 or MP-222.
