Deep golden brass lustre with Menzerna polishing paste sets

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that is easy to work mechanically. The colour of brass varies between a light yellow and reddish tone depending on the zinc content. Art, jewellery and everyday objects made of brass are still popular today due to their deep golden colour and shiny appearance.

Treatment of oxidised copper and brass surfaces

The surface of brass can easily be polished to a high lustre. Unfortunately, copper alloys tend to oxidise over time, resulting in a dull and brownish colour. Therefore, the optical treatment of brass and copper surfaces is an important area of application for special polishing tools and pastes. However, with the right tools and a little practice, brass surfaces can be treated without any problems.
