Compounds and Flocculants
Compounds are liquid or powder additives used in vibratory finishing to improve grinding performance and surface quality. They lubricate, clean, degrease, polish, and provide corrosion protection.
The right compound is selected based on the workpiece material, media, desired finish, and process requirements.
Types of Compounds
- Liquid compounds
- Polishing pastes and powders
- Flocculants
Powder Compounds
Powder compounds enhance grinding performance and support cleaning, degreasing, and, in some cases, polishing.
Flocculants
Flocculants bind fine abrasive particles and wear residues, improving water clarity and separation of oils, fats, and solids in centrifuges.
Benefits:
- Prevent water turbidity
- Improve cleaning and degreasing
- Bind wear products and residues
Applications
- Improvement of grinding and polishing performance in vibratory finishing.
- Cleaning and degreasing of workpieces.
- Support for polishing processes.
- Corrosion protection during and after processing.
- Conditioning of process water by binding abrasion, fats, and oils.

FAQ
Here you will find answers to your questions
What process media does Eurotec Innovation offer?
Eurotec Innovation offers ceramic tumbling media, plastic tumbling media, drying granulates such as corn cob grit, compounds, flocculants, nut shell grit, special media, and grinding and polishing pastes.
How does Eurotec Innovation select the appropriate process media?
Eurotec Innovation selects process media to match the material, component geometry, desired surface effect, and processing objective.
Can Eurotec Innovation supply process media together with equipment and process design?
Eurotec Innovation offers process media tailored to the respective processing operation and, upon request, combines these with equipment, process development, and personal consultation.
When are plastic abrasive media suitable?
Plastic abrasive media are particularly suitable for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, or brass, as well as for deburring and polishing processes.
When are ceramic abrasive media suitable?
Ceramic abrasive media are particularly suitable for harder materials like steel or stainless steel and are used for deburring and polishing.
What are compounds and flocculants used for?
Compounds and flocculants chemically support the grinding process and, in recirculating water systems, assist in the removal of abrasive particles and dirt. Additionally, compounds can have a brightening effect or, for example, corrosion protection properties.
What role do drying granules play in the process?
Drying granules, such as corn or walnut granules, are used for component drying and sometimes also for polishing.
Does Eurotec Innovation offer assistance with selection?
Eurotec Innovation provides personalized advice on the right selection and conducts free sample processing in its in-house technical center.
