Midori Japanese Compound (commonly known as Midori Green) is a premium, professional-grade polishing abrasive manufactured in Japan. It is highly favored by jewelers, metalsmiths, and hobbyists for achieving a mirror-like, high-shine finish on hard and precious metals. The word midori (緑) translates directly to "green" in Japanese, reflecting the compound's distinct pale green or "wasabi" coloration.
Key Specifications & Characteristics
- Grit Level: It is an ultra-fine abrasive, typically rated between 8,000 grit and 9,000 grit.
- Texture: It is formulated as a relatively hard, dry compound bar.
- Uniform Structure: Jewelers rely on it because of its exceptionally fine, uniform grain structure. This ensures consistent scratch removal and gloss without leaving heavy, stained black streaks caused by buffing wheel heat.
- Sizing: It is typically sold in 1/4 lb (approx. 100g–113g) bars or larger 150-gram bars.
