An abrasive, economical tripoli compound well-suited to brass, other non-ferrous metals, and coated surfaces like lacquered wood.

While recommended by Menzerna primarily for cutting down brass, we found this tripoli compound to be both relatively clean-working and efficient on aluminum as well, despite our own past misgivings with other tripoli compounds. Produces cut and a measure of colour, while completing more work with a single bar than we expected - a testament to Menzerna's research, development, and chemical engineering. End-users with a tendency to over-apply 439T reported excellent cutting performance and a preference for this compound when cutting aluminum. New Generation (superseding 113GZ) has been optimized for higher temperatures (> 40°C / 104°F) when used inside polishing machines or in hot climates. Designed to produce a result ready for galvanizing or electroplating.

Cut / Gloss: 6 / 6 (on metal), 8 / 2 compared to lacquer bars (on lacquered surfaces)

Capable of removing 280 grit sanding marks from brass, 113 NG is recommended by Menzerna as the first step in a two-stage polishing process. Bring your work to a high gloss finish by following up with Menzerna 480W Finish. Additional polishing steps can add additional clarity. Menzerna suggested process for: brass.
