Description |
| |
All synthetic, natural, polycrystalline
diamond and CBN powders can be utilized in the manufacturing
of compounds. Compound (bases) are typically supplied
as "WS" (water soluble), "OS" (oil soluble), or "UN"
(universally soluble). However, many additional
compound formulations are available for specific
applications.Amplex lapping and
polishing compounds are excellent for mold, die and tool
polishing, polishing to final tolerance of ceramic parts,
initial charging of lapping plates and discs, tool-room use,
and other processes that require high finish and close
tolerance performance. Your Amplex Representative can
recommend the best formulation for your needs.
All components of Amplex compounds
conform to all EPA and OSHA safety requirements. |
