Product Specification

WHITE CUTTING POLISHING COMPOUND FOR PLASTICS & ACRYLICS - 1 POUND BAR 

Polishing plastics and acrylics takes a different approach than polishing metal, and our Benchmark Abrasives White Cutting Polishing Compound is designed specifically for that first correction stage. Use it after sanding to begin refining scratches, haze, and surface imperfections while preparing the material for the finer polishing stages that follow. Its focused application makes it a better choice than trying to use a general-purpose metal compound on heat-sensitive plastic surfaces.

This is the compound to reach for when you need to establish a clean, uniform surface before building clarity and gloss. As the first step in our plastic and acrylic polishing system, White provides the initial cutting action, followed by Beige for natural-luster polishing and Yellow for the final high-gloss finish.

Clean, Easy-Handling Packaging: Each polishing compound bar is wrapped in a protective, easy-to-handle package designed to keep the compound off your hands and make application to the buffing wheel or felt polishing media cleaner and more controlled. A convenient peel-open zipper runs along the side of the package, allowing you to expose only the portion of the compound you need while leaving the rest of the bar covered and protected. As the bar wears down, simply peel the packaging back further. A color-coded bottom provides quick visual identification, making it easy to grab the correct compound when multiple cutting and finishing compounds are being used at the same workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions

This White Cutting Polishing Compound is designed specifically for the initial cutting and surface-refinement stage when polishing plastics and acrylics.
No. White is the first cutting step in the Benchmark plastics and acrylics polishing system. Follow it with Beige for natural-luster polishing and Yellow for the final high-gloss finish.
Yes. Acrylic is one of the primary intended applications for this compound.
Yes. It is intended for plastics and acrylics, particularly when initial surface refinement is needed before finer polishing stages.
If deeper scratches or surface defects are present, progressively sand the surface to a suitably fine finish before beginning the buffing process.
Yes. Plastics and acrylics can be more sensitive to heat. Use controlled pressure, keep the workpiece moving, and avoid excessive heat buildup during polishing.
Yes. Use a dedicated wheel for each compound to prevent the cutting compound from contaminating the finer polishing stages.
