Dico 7100113 Jewelers Rouge Polishing Compound Red

Product Description

The DICO 7100113 is a red, hi-color jewelers rouge polishing compound formulated for use on gold, silver, and precious metals. Jewelers rouge is a fine abrasive compound applied to buffing wheels or polishing cloths to produce a high-luster finish on soft and semi-soft metal surfaces. This formulation is suited for final-stage polishing work where surface clarity and reflectivity are the primary goals. Jewelers and metal finishing technicians reach for this compound when working on fine metalwork, jewelry repair, or decorative metal components that require a clean, bright final surface.

This compound is appropriate for bench-level polishing operations in jewelry shops, trade workshops, and fabrication environments. It performs well in applications involving gold alloys, sterling silver, and other precious metal items such as rings, clasps, chains, flatware, and decorative hardware. The red color designation indicates compound grade and helps technicians distinguish it from coarser cutting compounds during multi-stage polishing sequences.

Installation Notes

Applied by pressing the compound bar against a rotating buffing wheel to charge the wheel surface, then bringing the workpiece into contact with the charged wheel. Use appropriate eye protection and ventilation when buffing, as fine particulate is generated during operation. Keep compound bars stored away from heat and moisture to maintain consistency.
