CLOVER LAPPING AND GRINDING COMPOUNDS are
abrasive pastes for the cutting, smoothing and finishing
of metal surfaces, and for the precision mating of metal
parts. For over 100 years Clover Compounds have helped
mechanics, tool and die makers, and machine builders
create precision, silky-smooth fits in machine parts,
valve seats and gear teeth.
Clover Compounds are formulated from silicon carbide abrasives. These
compounds are classified by grit size; from very coarse to extremely fine. They
are available in grease based formulations.
Clover Compounds supplement other metal removal techniques such as grinding,
milling, boring and EDM machining. Where these techniques alone cannot
achieve the required finishing, Clover Compounds are used to:
Produce an ultra flat surface as in the lapping or gauges, valve seats,
spacers and mechanical seal faces.
Smooth out surfaces as in the lapping of tool marks from machine ways,
bearing races and shaft surfaces.
Achieve precise dimensions while maintaining smooth surfaces as in
finishing gauges, tools and dies.

Achieve perfect mating of metal parts as in lapping in of automotive and
industrial valves, running-in gears, and sharpening of shear-type cutters.
Clean surfaces without changing the topography of the surfaces as in
cleaning mold cavities and die surfaces.
Remove metal or material too hard to remove in other ways as in
finishing hardened tool steel or stellite valve seats.

The Abrasives:
Clover compounds are available with the following abrasive grains and in a range
of grit sizes. See the chart for availability of grit by size.
Silicon Carbide
The preferred abrasive for fast cutting of all but the hardest and toughest
metals. It will produce a smooth flat surface but not a polished one.

Back to Top of Page
The Carriers:
Grease Mix
The most widely used carrier for Clover abrasives. It retains its texture and
lubrication properties during extended lapping and leaves a rust- preventing film
on lapped surfaces.
