  Powders
   
   Metalbond Synthetic Diamond Powder
 
  • Monocrystalline, blocky structure for strength
  • Extremely close grade achieved from high particle strength
  • Ideal for critical lapping and finishing applications on metallics and most nonmetallics
  • Popular for all-purpose applications and large production requirements

 

   Resinbond Synthetic Diamond Powder
 
  • Ideal for general lapping and finishing operations
  • Recommended for use in manufacture of resin bond grinding wheels
  • Particle strength friability exceeds that of metal bond type

 

   Polycrystalline Synthetic Diamond Powder
 
  • Shock synthesized polycrystalline structure
  • Resists major cleavage fractures by controlled microfracturing for sharpness
  • Multi-edged particles are shaped and graded to very close tolerances
  • Preferred for lapping and finishing of components fabricated from sapphire, ruby, and similar nonmetallic oxides
  • Ideal for magnetic heads and selective lapidary work
  • Black in color

 

   Natural Diamond Powder
 
  • Premium quality, virgin natural diamond powder
  • Crushed from mined boart and milled to yield sharp, aggressive-acting particles
  • Excellent relative thermal stability
  • Preferred for use in grinding ceramics and glass
