POLISHING/SATINISING<br />
Introduction & technical information<br />
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION<br />
POLISHING/SATINISING<br />
Fine Surface finishing for every application.<br />
Professional surface finishing encompasses a complex and broad spectrum of different mechanical finishing processes in<br />
which polishing and satinising play a key role.<br />
As a specialist in surface fine machining, Osborn offers a large selection of high-performance tools for all applications<br />
associated with polishing and satinising. We have organised our polishing and satinising products in such a way to suit<br />
the type of machine used.<br />
The three key techniques for achieving the perfect surface finish:<br />
There are 3 techniques for producing the desired surface finish.<br />
1.<br />
Polishing<br />
(power tools)<br />
Polishing is intended to create<br />
perfect high-gloss surfaces and<br />
can be performed using a variety<br />
of power tools.<br />
Generally, 3 steps are needed:<br />
• Cutting<br />
• Polishing<br />
• Colouring<br />
2.<br />
Satinising<br />
(power tools)<br />
Unlike polishing, satinising creates<br />
no high-gloss surface. It gives a<br />
matt look, whose surface structure<br />
varies depending on the substrate<br />
used.<br />
A satinised finish can be created<br />
using wet and dry techniques.<br />
3. Polishes &<br />
compounds<br />
Our compounds supplement our<br />
range of surface-polishing tools.<br />
The compounds can be used for<br />
manual or machine polishing and<br />
cover the entire range of surface<br />
finishing, from grinding and<br />
brushing to cutting and colouring.<br />

We recommend a combination<br />
of different quality polishing<br />
cloths and polishing compounds.<br />
Compound is a must for polishing.<br />
Suitable compounds are listed on the first page<br />
of the section.<br />
Satinising is usually a 1-stage<br />
process.<br />
No polishing compound is needed<br />
for satinising because the abrasive<br />
particles are already embedded in<br />
the base material of the satiniser.<br />
Steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous<br />
metals, wood, glass, paint and<br />
many other surfaces can be<br />
finished when combined with the<br />
appropriate polishing tool.
