PACE Technologies WPC-1009-250 DIAMAT 9 um Polycrystalline Water-Based Diamond Abrasive Suspension - 250 mL

PACE Technologies' polycrystalline diamond polishing abrasives are designed for rapid material removal with minimal surface damage. Featuring a multi-faceted crystal structure, these abrasives enhance surface leveling and reduce sub-surface deformation, making them ideal for polishing hard and brittle materials.

Polycrystalline diamond polishing is a critical step in achieving uniform, high-quality surface finishes during metallographic sample preparation. With its multi-faceted crystal structure, polycrystalline diamond offers superior material removal rates and minimized subsurface damage, especially on hard and brittle materials. These abrasives are best used with low- to medium-napped polishing pads to maintain flatness and avoid issues like relief or edge rounding. Selecting the proper viscosity and suspension format, paired with the right cloth and lubrication, ensures efficient, reproducible polishing results for accurate microstructural analysis.

Polycrystalline Diamond Advantages:

• Higher cut rates (self-sharpening abrasive)
• Uniform surface finish
• More uniform particle size distribution
• Harder / tougher particles
• Blocky shaped cutting edges
• Higher surface area (300% greater than monocrystalline diamond)
• Hexagonal microcrystallites (equally hard in all directions)

The DIAMAT suspensions are designed to be water-based and are used in combination with polishing pads and lubrication (such as DIALUBE) to achieve high-quality surface finishes on metal samples.

PACE Technologies DIAMAT Polycrystalline Water-Based Diamond Abrasive Suspension is high-performance abrasive is specifically designed for metallographic polishing. As a water-based polycrystalline suspension, it provides a high number of cutting facets, ensuring faster removal rates and a superior surface finish compared to monocrystalline alternatives.

Features:

• Higher diamond concentrations
• Faster material removal due to the multiple sharp cutting facets of polycrystalline diamonds
• Improved surface quality with fewer subsurface scratches compared to monocrystalline particles
• Better lubrication and cooling with water-based carriers, reducing heat and deformation
• Clean and easy cleanup, water-based suspensions rinse off without oily residue
• Environmentally safer than oil-based alternatives, with lower VOCs and improved lab safety
• Compatible with most polishing cloths and materials across metals, ceramics, and composites
• Consistent particle dispersion for uniform polishing results and repeatable performance
• Reduced polishing time when used in multi-step metallographic preparation routines
