Febac ceriumoxyde is formulated to quickly mix with water and forming a slurry that is immediately ready for use.
Best results are achieved if polishing is started as soon as the slurry is prepared.
Preparation of the polishing slurry
- Measure out the volume of water required for the charge. Ordinary tap water is usually satisfactory.
- Add the appropriate weight of powder required to achieve the desired concentration. Always add powder to water - NOT water to powder.
- Mix up the slurry. Check the concentration. Add more powder or water in order to achieve the correct concentration.
- Start polishing.
- Check the slurry concentration regularly and, if necessary, add more powder or water to correct the concentration.
