Diamond Compounds, Slurries, and Suspensions

Compounds

 

As the lapping and polishing industries continue to evolve into the next millennium, so too have the Compounds used in these applications. We offer a complete line of Diamond and Borazon Compounds specifically tailored to improve the performance of lapping and polishing processes. The ultimate goal is to achieve the highest surface quality and consistency for the end user of the product. Our compounds take polishing from an art to a science!

 

 
Diamond Compounds
- Diamond powder + carrier (lubricant).
- Lapping and polishing applications.
- Contains SJK-5* or MBM* diamond.
- Available in heavy, medium and light diamond concentrations.
- Super strong concentration available: "DD" Compound
.
 
 

Oil Soluble
Recommended for controlled lapping of carbide drawing dies, cold heading dies and numerous other polishing applications.

 

Water Soluble
For use where exceptional cleaning is required and where petroleum contamination is prohibited.

 

Water/Oil Soluble
Compliments the use of oil as well as water for achieving more productive results and facilitating cleaning.

Slurries
 

We offer a variety of formulated slurries that have been developed to provide the ultimate in efficiency and consistency for all lapping and polishing applications.

 
Liquid Diamond Powder
- Diamond powder dispersed in ultrapure water.
- Eliminates agglomerates which can occur in submicron powders.
- Flat lapping and polishing applications.
- SJK-5, RJK-1, Polycrystalline or Natural diamond.
- Diamond sizes less than 4 microns.
 
Diamond Slurry
- Diamond powder dispersed in stabilized vehicles.
- Lapping and polishing applications.
- Available in Monocrystalline diamond.
- K-700 and K-450 compatible with petroleum distilates.
- Tailor-made to meet specific requirements.
Suspensions
 

Understanding a suspension's makeup is the first step in assuring that it plays an effective role in lapping and polishing.

GE Micron Products first introduced a product called "Liquid Diamond Powder." This LDP has now evolved into many types of formulations known as Suspensions.

What are Microscopic Diamond Suspensions? First and foremost, it is a solution containing liquid diamond powder in a stabilized and non-sedimenting form.

 
Diamond Suspensions
- Diamond powder in stabilized and non-sedimenting vehicles.
- Lapping and polishing applications.
- Available in Mono, Resin, Poly or Natural Diamond.
- Available in trigger and pump spray bottles.
- Four general types of suspensions:
 
Series-1000
Straight oil with petroleum base and additives. Available in many viscosities
.

Series-2000

Straight water, for use where exceptional cleaning is required and where petroleum contamination is prohibited.

Series-3000

Water/oil suspensions, compliments the use of oil as well as water for achieving more productive results.


Series-4000

Emulsifiable Water/Oil suspensions. For use on metals, ferrites, ceramics, and sintered parts.

Lubricators & Thinners

 

Our lubricators were specifically developed to be used with our Compound products and offer the operator clean, safe performance on a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, semi-conductor electronic applications for exceptionally clean surface demands.

Today's lapping and polishing industries have become so complex that our research laboratory testing has created what we feel to be the basic three lubricants:

Oil soluble lubricants
Water Soluble lubricants
Combination Oil & Water Soluble lubricants

These lubricators offer excellent a high standard of lubricity designed for heat stability and deterioration resistance for maximized lapping and polishing action of our diamond lapping compounds or diamond powders.
