Axalta PL C7
This compound contains stannic oxide (SnO2) abrasive particles, which are 1.7 times more dense than alumina (the most commonly used abrasive particle), and 2.6 times more dense than silica. Because of that, it starts to work on polished surfaces more quickly, lengthening the effective polishing time and increasing the efficiency of the process. This product boasts superb cutting power for a finishing compound. Since this compound is free of silicone and wax, it can be used on a wide range of paint types, from high-grade paints to general restoration paints.
Properties of stannic oxide (SnO2)
1. High relative density
Stannic oxide is 1.7 times more dense than alumina (the most commonly used abrasive particle), and 2.6 times more dense than silica. Because of that, it starts to work on polished surfaces more quickly, increasing the efficiency of the polishing process. In addition, it causes little dusting during buffing.
2. Low hardness
Stannic oxide is less hard than alumina, allowing for a gentler polish.
3. Long effective polishing time
The abrasive particles adapt to water, oil and the buffing pad easily, lengthening the effective polishing time. (Because alumina does not work well with water, the polishing efficiency is dependent on the moisture in the compound being low.)
・Can be used as a finishing compound for any kind of paint, from the latest high-solid and high-grade paints to general restoration paints.
・Polishing of scratch-resistant clear coatings and deep gloss restoration is only possible with PL C7.
Comparison of the effective polishing time of PL C7 with typical compounds (for illustrative purposes only)
The graph shows the speed of the increase in cutting power and the length of the effective polishing time. PL C7 reaches an effective level of cutting power quickly, allowing it to maintain effectiveness for a longer period of time. Conversely, general compounds are slow to reach an effective level of cutting power and only work well within a short window (the efficiency rises after the moisture in the compound decreases).
*The manufacturer has changed from DuPont to Axalta.
