Material Processing

EpoKwick™ is a transparent, quick setting epoxy resin that cures in 90 minutes.

A free flowing, low viscosity, low shrinkage epoxy resin that is ideal for use with porous and heat sensitive samples.

The Scan-Dia system offers a complete range of cold setting, metallographic embedding agents and accessories.

Thermoplastic wax ideal for fixing ceramics, glasses and semiconductor materials to specimen mounts for grinding, dimpling or ion beam thinning.

For those who wish to prepare thinned specimens by one of the window techniques, Lacomit peelable varnish is very valuable for blanking off portions of the specimen which are not to be polished.

Both oil based (OS type) and water based (W type) lubricants are available for use with Kemet polishing pastes.

Various grades of diamond polishing paste are available.

A range of silicon carbide and alumina abrasives for fine lapping or grinding of samples on surfaces such as cast iron, tin, lead or cloth covered wheels.

Ultraprep lapping films offer an alternative to diamond impregnated cloths where uniform material removal and surface flatness are essential.

A range of Aluminium Oxide abrasive strips and sheets with resin-bonded polishing powder on a polyester backing.

A range of diamond abrasive strips and sheets with resin-bonded polishing powder on a polyester backing.

A range of abrasive strips and sheets with resin-bonded polishing powder on a polyester backing.

A range of polishing cloths and discs suitable for use with rotary polishers.

Crystalbond adhesives allow temporary bonding of delicate crystals, metallurgical samples, glass components and ceramic substrates.

Wafer-Mount 559 and Wafer-Mount 562 wafer-mount adhesives sheets.

Loctite® 460 is a fast curing, low odour, low viscosity glue which can be used as an alternative to wax for mounting samples on glass for TEM/FIB thinning. 50g. 

These are sturdy dishes suitable for microwave use.

Static free, graduated 30ml polypropylene cups, ideal for preparing water for glass or diamond knife troughs.

Flat wooden sticks, suitable for stirring resins, etc.

QuickStick is a temporary mounting wax, with a melting point of 135°C, used to bond samples during processing.
