Porcelain Polishing Media
Porcelain media is a non-abrasive, durable material used in vibratory finishing to polish components. Fired at high temperatures, it comes in various shapes and sizes for diverse applications. It can be used with polishing pastes to refine surfaces and remove fine scratches. Ensure it is glazed and maintained for optimal performance.
The smooth, round shape of the spheres minimises scratches and produces a bright, lustrous finish on metal and plastic parts. This is ideal for applications requiring a mirror-like surface finish, such as jewellery, cutlery, and automotive parts.
Cylinder-shaped porcelain media offers a balance between achieving a good overall finish and reaching specific areas on workpieces. They are a versatile option for various vibro finishing applications.
Ellipses excel at conforming to and polishing curved surfaces on parts. This is advantageous for workpieces with contours, bends, or rounded edges.
The three-pointed star shape excels at reaching into intricate nooks, crannies, and small areas on workpieces. This makes them ideal for polishing complex geometries with tight corners, holes, and detailed features that other media shapes might struggle to reach.
Similar to tristars, triangles can navigate into recessed areas and channels on workpieces. However, the sharper edges might be more effective for reaching tighter corners or edges compared to the rounded points of tristars.

Benefits of Porcelain Polishing Media
- Non-abrasive: Porcelain polishing media will not remove material from the surface of the workpiece, which can help to prolong the life of the workpiece.
- Durable: Porcelain polishing media is very durable and can be used for a long time without breaking down.
- Versatility: Porcelain polishing media can be used to polish a wide variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and glass.
- Environmentally friendly: Porcelain polishing media is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly material.
Applications of Porcelain Polishing Media
- Automotive: Used to polish and deburr automotive parts, such as engine blocks, pistons and crankshafts.
- Aerospace: Used to polish and deburr aerospace components, such as turbine blades and landing gear.
- Medical: Used to polish and deburr medical devices, such as implants, surgical instruments, and prosthetics.
- Electronics: Used to polish and deburr electronic components, such as circuit boards, connectors, and semiconductors.
- Other industries: Used in a variety of other industries, such as food processing, metalworking and woodworking.
