Abrasive Powders Slurries

Lapmaster offers a wide variety of abrasive powders and slurries developed specifically for Metallographic applications.

  • Alumina Powders - Lapmaster's Alumina Powders are high purity, polishing powders designed for final polishing of most Metallographic specimens. Alumina Powders are sold in standard and deagglomerated versions. The deagglomerated version is put through an extra milling procedure to breakdown agglomerates and is recommended for final polishing. The standard version is recommended for most other applications. The powder is available in .05, 0.3, and 1.0 micron sizes.
  • Alumina Slurry - Lapmaster's Alumina Slurry is formulated from the same high purity alumina used in our powders. These ready -made slurries are not only easy to use but guarantee consistent performance from lot to lot. The slurry is available in .05, 0.3, and 1.0 micron sizes.
  • Colloidal Silica - Colloidal Silica is an excellent polishing solution for producing scratch-free specimens. It utilizes a chemical/mechanical action which delivers perfect finishes on many materials. To achieve these fine finishes, the surface of the material is chemically altered while very fine silica particles ranging from 0.02 - 0.06 micron remove the altered layer. Lapmaster's Colloidal Silica is non-freezing and non-drying. The non-freezing characteristic allows the material to be shipped in cold weather without fear of the silica particles falling out of suspension. The non-drying characteristic allows a polishing cloth to be reused after drying out, preventing the dried silica particles from re-crystallizing and forming large scratch-producing agglomerates.
  • Colloidal Alumina - Colloidal Alumina is an acidic dispersion which uses a chemical/mechanical action to produce superior surfaces. Outstanding results have been achieved on pure metals such as copper, nickel, tungsten, and beryllium as well as steel and aluminum.
  • Fine Polishing Solution - Fine Polishing Solution is a chemical/mechanical final polishing system used for ceramics, sapphire, glass, and ceramic/metal composites. Lapmaster's proprietary formulation combines a chemical action

with an extremely fine 0.06-micron abrasive for producing outstanding results on most hard materials.
