Manufactured under rigorous ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality standards by Koyo-Sha, this compound set includes grease sticks and tripoli blends for both lubrication and delustering. Its solid compound formula prevents overheating during abrasive processes and assists in smoother cutting action with various buffing wheels.

Koyo-Sha Lubricant & Delustering Compound

The Koyo-Sha Lubricant & Delustering range supports industrial polishing workflows by reducing friction and surface burning. Whether used with abrasive belts, grinding stones, or non-woven wheels, these compounds help prepare the surface for subsequent polishing steps, enhancing finish consistency and overall luster.

Features

01
Multiple Compound Types

Includes Grease Sticks (White K, AB R) and Tripoli grades (K-1, K-2, K-0, Y-3), each tuned for lubrication, delustering, or preventing burning depending on the material and process.

02
Burn / Heat Prevention

The compounds operate to reduce friction heat when using abrasives or buffs—this protects the workpiece from burning marks and preserves surface integrity.

03
Delustering / Satin Finish Capability

Some compounds are designed for satin or less glossy finishes (delustering), helping to reduce reflectivity or visual haze when a high mirror finish is not required.

04
Polishing Enhancement (Final Appearance)

Even minimal usage of the proper compound with the appropriate buff/polisher can yield a much clearer, more lustrous or mirror-like finish on metals or coated surfaces.

05
Workpiece Material Versatility

Suitable for many metals (stainless steel, aluminum), coated surfaces, and pigmented or deeply coated workpieces. Also works with various buff or abrasive forms: belts, discs, wheels etc.
