Sisal<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nThe natural fiber of the Agave plant, grown in South Africa and South America, is a cost-effective and robust natural fiber for metal-polishing, which has become material of choice due to its qualities in the polishing process.<\/p>\n

By using only first class, long sisal fibers for matting and braid, the quality of the sisal polishing tools is exceptional and guarantees a long life.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

Fine Grinding and Pre-Polishing<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nSisal buffing with the appropriate compounds would be the next step of the polishing process, after grinding with abrasive belt grits of 240 for non-ferrous metals and grit 280 for stainless steel. Pure cotton buffs would be hard pressed to do this. This conversion from abrasive belt grinding to sisal buffing at an early stage is economical and cost effective. A good industrial finish will be achieved but no mirror finish. Finer, more shining surfaces can be achieved by using sisal\/cotton combinations, instead of pure sisal matting or sisal braid. For certain operations this can be the final step, without colouring with cotton. For this operation, cutting compounds are used.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

45\u00b0 Degree Material Cut<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nThe 45\u00b0 sisal weave cut on the circumference of the polishing buff minimises buff wear and dust production. No buff fraying or tearing out of the material occurs and the tips of the sisal can work on the object being polished. This results in optimal and thorough pre-polishing.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Recommended Circumference Speed<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nSisal buffs are most ecconomically used at running speeds of 30 \u2013 45 m\/sec.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Compounds<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nSisal buffs are used with aggressive grinding and pre-polishing compounds.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Suggestions for the Optimal Choice of Sisal Brushes<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nIn the case of flat metal components, the buffs and brushes should be as hard as possible, for example:
\nC1\/K: hollow-ware, steel, inox steel
\nC10\/K: hollow-ware pouring lips, cooking pots, fittings, household handles
\nC13\/K: steel tubes, automobile parts, cooking pots
\nC20: hollow-ware, flat surfaces<\/p>\n

More flexible brushes are used for profiled components, for example:
\nC3\/KU: silver-polishing, cutlery in general
\nC4\/KU: cutlery, metal sheeting, sinks
\nC8\/K: cutlery, handles
\nC11\/K: knife blades, paint-scrapers<\/p>\n

Impregnations<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nThe choice of the most appropriate impregnation is determined by the application, the requirements of our customers and our experience.<\/p>\n

The correct impregnation increases longevity of the buff and enhances the polishing effect. This in turn results in cost savings on polishing buffs and compounds. A 50-100% increase in longevity is possible. All our impregnations are environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

Through the years of experience and continuing innovation we have developed a number of exceptional impregnations, with varying properties: fat content, stickiness, softness or high density, as can be seen below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
