Diamond suspensions are used in the sample preparation stage to quickly remove raw materials and produce perfectly polished surfaces for analysis. The type of diamond suspension to use depends on the material being polished and the desired surface finish. Monocrystalline diamond suspensions are generally good performers, but in some cases, Polycrystalline diamond suspensions will be required. Polycrystalline diamond is particularly effective at removing stock and polish from hard or sintered materials.

Glycol Based Suspensions: A water-soluble and environmentally friendly diamond suspension mixed with glycol lubricant. Ideal for manual application or automatic –drip” dispensing systems. Colour-coded for easy identification of micron size.

Water Based Suspensions: Water soluble and environmentally friendly, this 99% water-based formula is recommended for manual application or automatic –”spray”/”drip” dispensing systems, where the lubricant is also applied.

DiaLube Diamond Suspensions: Water soluble and environmentally friendly diamond suspension pre-mixed with a propylene glycol-based polishing lubricant. Excellent for quick application of both abrasive and lubricant without the need for precise dripping ratios.

Alcohol-Based Slurries: An alcohol-based slurry made with 100% polycrystalline diamond, recommended for water-sensitive materials such as zinc, magnesium, and steel with non-metallic inclusions. Use with alcohol-based lubricants only. Recommended for manual application or automatic –spray”/–drip” dispensing systems, where the lubricant is also applied.
