PRODUCT OVERVIEW
What is FC115?
FC115 is a corrosion protection liquid compound formulated for vibratory tumblers, rumbler machines, and barrel polishers. It helps maintain part and media cleanliness while protecting rust-prone ferrous substrates during wet finishing cycles.
Why it Matters
In mass finishing, parts and media constantly contact water and mechanical energy, which can expose fresh metal and lead to flash rust and corrosion. FC115 helps inhibit that corrosion while flushing fines from the media and parts.

TECHNICAL BENEFITS & FEATURES
Corrosion Protection
Formulated to support ferrous materials by reducing oxidation and rust risk in wet finishing environments. Ideal when steel parts are prone to flash rust.
Efficient Cleaning Action
Helps remove fine debris and contaminants from both parts and media for better finishing results and more consistent processing.
Media Life Extension
By keeping media surfaces cleaner, FC115 helps extend media life and maintain process efficiency.
Broad Material Compatibility
While optimised for ferrous metals, it can be used on stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium, and zinc when corrosion inhibition is beneficial.
Industry-Proven Chemistry by Rösler
FC115 is formulated on proven mass finishing compound technology developed and tested within the Rösler consumables ecosystem — the world’s most comprehensive mass finishing consumable range. This engineering foundation helps ensure consistent corrosion inhibition and media activation in ferrous finishing applications.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Diluting & Mixing
-
Dilute 1–2% with water before use.
-
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution in the finishing solution.
In-Machine Use
-
Load parts and media into your vibratory or barrel finisher.
-
Add the diluted compound to the machine’s water reservoir.
-
Run the process as normal while monitoring finish and foam levels.
Best Practice Tips
-
Avoid over-use — excessive froth can cushion media action and reduce cutting/cleaning efficiency.
-
If switching to polishing stages (e.g., brighter finishes), consider following with a universal compound like FC120.
MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY
| Material | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| Steel & Iron | ✔️ Primary – anti-corrosion focus |
| Stainless Steel | ✔️ Suitable |
| Copper & Brass | ⚪ Secondary – cleaning benefit, mild corrosion control |
| Aluminium & Zinc | ⚪ Secondary – mild protection/cleaning |
