	Lapping Slurries
	Use Amplex slurries for high production lapping and polishing. Efficient and economical, Amplex slurry is ideal for polishing stainless steel, carbonized metal bearings, ceramic valve seals, sapphire components, and optical parts. It is recommended for materials requiring rapid stock removal, high surface finish, extreme flatness, and perpetuating lapping aggressiveness. Amplex slurry is available in all diamond powder types and in a wide variety of standard and custom engineered vehicles.
	Amplex "WS" and "OS"
	Our standard slurries are perfect for a variety of industrial lapping applications requiring the performance and cost efficiency of diamond abrasives. Amplex "WS" and "OS" are medium viscosity, high purity formulas consisting of EPA/OSHA approved components. They are recommended for ceramics, metal carbides, ferrites, and many other hard, high technology materials. Both "WS" and "OS" slurry types exhibit a wide range of solvency. "WS" is recommended when diluting and cleaning is performed with water or other polar solvents. "OS" is recommended for diluting or cleaning with various oil and non-polar solvents. A pleasant aroma characterizes both slurry types.
	Amplex W600S and W602AS - Suspension Slurries
	Amplex offers a line of water-soluble and biodegradable suspension slurries. Amplex suspension slurries are useful for a variety of metallurgic applications where highly reflective surfaces are required. These suspensions exhibit pseudo-plastic behavior, which makes them ideal for lapping and polishing because their viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. W602AS has the higher viscosity of the two slurries and can suspend up to 60m diamond particles. Amplex suspensions are available in non-aerosol spray pumps and trigger spray bottles. They are excellent for working on metals, stainless steels and ceramics. Most popular on pads as well as a variety of plates such as copper, tin/lead and cast iron.
	Amplex W17S
	Water-soluble, odorless emulsion slurry, Amplex W17S is useful for a variety of polishing applications where oil slurries are typically used to achieve angstrom finishes. When cleaning becomes and issue with oil-based slurries, yet you want the high glossy finish that oil slurries provide, W17S may be the answer to all your needs. W17S can be diluted with water and it cleans easily with a little soap in water. Solvents are no longer needed to clean parts. W17S is popular on steel and cast iron plates for polishing substrates such as Tungsten Carbide, Silicon Carbide, and Aluminum Oxide.
	Amplex 0854S
	Specially forrmulated, this low viscosity, oil-soluble slurry is designed to handle harder laps such as meehanite and ceramic. Minimum vehicle film thickness promotes fast cutting on ceramics such as Tungsten Carbide, Silicon Carbide, Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia, and Silicon Nitride. Also the light viscosity and high purity of 0858S permits easy, thorough cleanup of finished parts. Contact Amplex for recommendations suited to your individual requirements. We specialize in developing formulations that meet your specific applications and providing application engineering support as needed.
