Paul Batson, managing director of Master Abrasives, says: “We identified consumables for sample preparation to be a gap in our range. These products will complement our existing product portfolio and enable us to provide a more comprehensive package for laboratories. As the representative of the Microdiamant range of diamond products, it seemed logical for us to also offer their metallography products.”
The consumables for sample preparation that Master Abrasives now offers include cutting, mounting, grinding and polishing products, and accessories. The cutting blade type has been designed to suit customer and laboratory requirements and, at the point of enquiry, advice will be provided on the ideal set up to ensure the customer achieves optimal cooling and sample production.
Also offered in the Microdiamant range are hot- and cold-mounting consumables. As hot-mounting consumables, Microdiamant only uses granulates, so that less soiling from dust arises during machining. Cold-mounting consumables are designed for preparing samples of heat-sensitive materials, and for the manufacture of multiple individual samples simultaneously. Accessories offered for mounting include silicone moulds, fixing clips and gloves.
Microdiamant also offers grinding solutions, such as resin and metal-bond diamond grinding pads, abrasive paper and grinding foils, and polishing solutions such as diamond slurries, polishing pads, composite polishing pads, and diamond compounds.
