It is achieved by polishing the metal with progressively finer abrasives until a smooth, reflective surface is achieved. The finish is so reflective that it resembles a mirror, hence the name. The result is a finish that has a specular reflection, which means it reflects light in a way that creates a clear image.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/asmgtrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-mirror-finish-sheet.webp” title_text=”8 mirror finish sheet” admin_label=”Image 738×502″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ custom_margin=”||59px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_cta title=”How is #8 mirror finish achieved?” admin_label=”body section 2″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ header_level=”h3″ header_font=”Open Sans||||||||” header_text_color=”#25282a” header_font_size=”24px” header_line_height=”120%” body_font=”Open Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#576053″ body_font_size=”16px” body_letter_spacing=”-0.05px” body_line_height=”175%” use_background_color=”off” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”|-20px|35px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_font_size_phone=”20px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_promo_description=”padding-bottom: 0 !important;|| font-weight: 400 !important;” custom_css_promo_title=”padding-bottom: 26px !important;||font-weight: 400 !important;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n #8 mirror finish is achieved through a series of polishing and buffing processes. The polishing process involves the use of abrasive materials, such as sandpaper, to remove any imperfections and scratches from the surface of the material. The buffing process involves the use of buffing compounds, such as rouge, to achieve a smooth and reflective surface.<\/p>\n The quality of the #8 mirror finish is determined by the level of reflectivity achieved. The reflectivity is typically measured using a gloss meter, which measures the amount of light reflected from the surface of the material. The highest quality #8 mirror finish can achieve a reflectivity of up to 98%.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_cta title=”Applications of #8 Mirror Finish” admin_label=”body section 3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ header_level=”h3″ header_font=”Open Sans||||||||” header_text_color=”#25282a” header_font_size=”24px” header_line_height=”120%” body_font=”Open Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#576053″ body_font_size=”16px” body_letter_spacing=”-0.05px” body_line_height=”175%” use_background_color=”off” text_orientation=”left” custom_margin=”|-20px|35px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_font_size_phone=”20px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_promo_description=”padding-bottom: 0 !important;|| font-weight: 400 !important;” custom_css_promo_title=”padding-bottom: 26px !important;||font-weight: 400 !important;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n #8 mirror finish is used in a wide range of applications where a highly reflective surface is desired.

<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is #8 Mirror Finish?<\/h2>\n
\n
A: No, #8 mirror finish is achieved through mechanical polishing and buffing, while a chrome finish is achieved through a plating process.<\/p>\n
A: To maintain the mirror finish, clean the surface regularly with a mild soap and water solution or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that can scratch the surface.<\/p>\n
