Metal Finishing Supplies & Equipment

Our VBS Compounds offer the “VERY BEST SOLUTIONS” to meet all of your needs. We offer over 300 products which include finishing compounds for all types of metals; burnishing compounds, degreasers, washing compounds, cleaning compounds and chemicals for black oxide systems. The fact that we manufacture our own products allows us to custom make compounds specifically for your application while continuing to keep cost down. Our ISO 9002 aligned manufacturing system and dedicated personnel insure that we supply compounds of unsurpassed quality.

High Alkaline Cleaners:
We have a variety of liquid and powder alkaline compounds designed for use on ferrous parts in vibratory deburring and barrel tumbling operations, where light to heavy duty cleaning is required. Our alkaline cleaners are compatible with any type of media, whether it be ceramic, plastic, or steel and provide “between process” rust protection.

Acidic Burnishers:
Our burnishers range from light to heavy cleaning/brightening and can be used on any nonferrous alloy. In some applications they can be used on ferrous alloys also. Because of the many ways burnishing is achieved, we have specifically designed burnishers to be used with stainless steel, carbon steel, porcelain, sintered bauxite and plastic media. We have also formulated burnishers to more specific needs such as “cleaner” products that help facilitate the rolling and feeding of steel media.

Mild Alkaline Cleaners:
In vibratory applications where nonferrous parts need to be deburred and white rust is a concern, mild alkaline cleaners are needed. These products can be used with either ceramic or plastic medias. And in ferrous applications where rust is not a concern, but pH is, mild alkaline compounds are an excellent solution.

Corrosion Inhibitors:
Our corrosion inhibitors can used in a simple dip tank, low and high pressure spray-on, and vibratory operations. Inhibitors are specifically designed to provide against white or red rust, and depending on the application, operating concentration ranges from 5-20%, by volume. In a humidity cabinet (120ºF and 90% R.H.), our inhibitors provide at least 100 hours protection.

Parts Washing Compounds:
We have designed parts washing compounds for many different applications including ferrous and nonferrous, light duty to heavy duty cleaning, low and high temperature, high pressure spray systems, aerated and/or agitated tank systems, and ultra-sonic cleaning. Corrosion protection associated with any of these compounds is generally 2-4 weeks at 5%, by volume, assuming completely dry parts from the process.

Degreasers:
Unlike other degreasers, this product can be used in spray bottles, mop and bucket, and floor scrubbers. It is safe on most surfaces including wood, concrete, paint, metal, etc., and can effectively clean surfaces at dilutions ranging from 1 ounce per gallon to 5 ounces per gallon, depending on customer requirements.
