compounds and media

Media and compounds are important in finishing.

A key aspect of vibratory finishing of metal components is choosing the best compounds and media for the task. Fortunately, Vibra Finish offers a wide selection of these items – not only for its own use, but also for sale to private users who perform their own metal finishing. Vibra Finish knows that finishing is a complex process, so pairing the right media or compounds with specific tasks always gets the best results.

Compounds and media have different purposes. Media is any material that alters the appearance of a metal part, usually an abrasive, but generally any substance that can clean, polish, abrade, or separate. It is typically applied in general-purpose metal polishing and deburring applications. Compounds keep media and part surfaces clean.

Vibra Finish carries different types of compounds. Vibra-Glo compounds are useful as rust inhibitors, alkaline cleaners, mild acidic burnishers, washing compounds, or all-purpose cleaners, depending on the material being finished and the needed surface finish. These compounds are effective as well as environmentally friendly. Vibra Finish has formulated these products with high-quality ingredients and a strict quality-controlled process.

The following types of vibratory tumbling media are offered:

  • Aluminum Oxide – Two of the premium shaped tumbling media styles are nuggets and sintered (XA and XM). Size range from 00 to 24-240.
  • Ceramic Media – Recommended for quick deburring, tough metal removal, and cutting hard or heavy metals. The top choice for applications that need media of small dimensions. Many different formulations are available for different kinds of applications.
  • Plastic & Synthetic Media – Ideal for soft metals like brass or aluminum and for stringy materials. Typically used for pre-paint or pre-plate finishing, polishing, and deburring. Provides a smooth, durable finish. Different formulations are available.
  • Steel Media – Can be used for light deburring as well as peening. Peening surfaces work-hardened by imparting compressive stress resulting in longer part life and higher wear resistance. Peening action reduces porosity while boosting corrosion resistance. Stainless steel and carbon steel media are available.

For the best selection of compounds and media to suit any finishing task, trust Vibra Finish.
