Dico 7100050 Jewelers Rouge Polishing Compound Red

Product Description

The DICO 7100050 is a red, hi-color jewelers rouge polishing compound used to produce a high-luster finish on soft and semi-precious metals. Rouge compounds of this type work by providing a very fine abrasive action that removes light oxidation, surface scratches, and dull films without removing significant base material. The 7100050 is packaged as a single unit weighing 1.55 pounds. It is applied by hand or with a buffing wheel on bench grinders, polishing lathes, or rotary tools. Jewelers, metalworkers, and finishing technicians are the primary users of this compound type.

This compound is formulated for use on gold, silver, and precious metals. It is well suited for finishing jewelry, decorative metalwork, flatware, and small precision parts where a mirror-quality surface finish is required. The red hi-color formulation is a standard finishing-stage compound, typically used after coarser cutting compounds have removed major surface defects. It performs on both hand-applied cloth and machine-driven buffing wheels.

Installation Notes

Apply this compound to a clean, rotating buffing wheel or by hand using a soft cloth. Wear appropriate eye protection and a dust mask when using polishing compounds with power equipment. Keep compound away from open flames. Clean the workpiece thoroughly between compound stages when transitioning from coarser to finer grits to avoid cross-contamination of abrasive grades.
