Carbon Steel Polishing & Buffing

Carbon steel polishing and buffing often go hand-in-hand, but the processes are very dissimilar. Polishing carbon steel involves using abrasives – such as wheels, belts, and media – to remove just enough materials from the part's surface to make it suitable for its final finish. Buffing carbon steel is done using cloth-type wheels and non-aggressive media, which tumble over the part's surface until the desired level of finish is reached.

At RP Abrasives, we have spent years fine-tuning our polishing and buffing processes – and the results speak for themselves. We leverage several techniques – including mass finishing/tumbling and even bead blasting – to ensure our clients' second-to-none services. We also polish/buff many other metals and plastics, including aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and acrylic. We're one of the only finishing companies capable of handling metals and plastics with equal success.
