551 is a mildly acidic, burnishing compound for
use on ferrous and most non-ferrous metals. An
excellent burnishing compound with good
lubricity, controllable foam and light cleaning
ability. 551 yields exceptionally high color and
luster in ball burnishing operations. When used
with steel media in burnishing operations, the
media obtains and retains maximum brightness.
While primarily a steel media burnishing
compound, 551 can also be used with ceramic
and natural media. Steel media and parts should be inhibited to prevent corrosion.

For most conditions use 1 to 3 ounce per gallon
of water. Water flow rate for most situations
should be 2 gallons per hour per cubic foot of
mass in the machine. For example a 20cubic
foot vibratory machine should require a flow rate
of 40 gallons per hour. Inhibit media with our 50-R or PR-100 corrosion inhibitors.
