The requirements of precious metal polishing
The best known precious metals are gold, silver and platinum, primarily for their use in tableware, jewelry, watches and coinage.
Precious metals have more luster, are softer and more malleable than most other metals.
MERARD polishing compounds and buffing mops have been developed specifically to optimize manual and robotic polishing processes on these metals.
The polishing of gold, silver and platinum requires a specific know-how, well mastered by jewelers, jewellers and other specialists of luxury markets.
However, the quality of the polishing compound and the regularity of the buffing mop are key elements to obtain a perfect surface finish and the shine so sought after by these great polishers.
The composition of MERARD buffing mops and pastes are jointly defined, in our laboratory in France, according to each surface.
GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM, PALLADIUM, PRECIOUS METALS REQUIRE THE BEST POLISHING PASTES AND DISCS FOR PERFECT SHINE.
