Brasso
Brasso is a type of metal polish designed to remove tarnish from brass, copper, chrome, and stainless steel. It is produced by Reckitt Benckiser, a British multinational consumer goods company.
History[edit | edit source]
Brasso was first introduced to the market in the early 20th century, originally designed to polish military brass fittings. The product gained popularity for its effectiveness and soon found a place in households for general use.
Composition[edit | edit source]
The formulation of Brasso has changed over the years. The original UK formula contained ammonia and isopropanol, designed to effectively clean and polish metal surfaces. However, the formula has been modified in various countries to comply with national health and safety regulations.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Brasso is commonly used in both domestic and industrial settings. It is applied to the tarnished metal surface, left for a few minutes, then buffed off with a soft cloth. The product is known for its ability to restore the shine and luster of metal surfaces.
Precautions[edit | edit source]
While Brasso is effective, it is also a strong chemical agent. It is recommended to use it in a well-ventilated area and avoid contact with skin and eyes. It is also not suitable for use on all metals, such as aluminium and silver.
