Buehler Compression Mounting Compounds
Compression mounting compounds utilize heat and pressure to encapsulate a specimen. Buehler's compounds minimize shrinkage while protecting and preserving sample edges during the preparation process.
- Many different compounds are available to meet the wide variety of needs including colored general-purpose phenolic, hard mineral-filled compounds, clear thermoplastic compounds and conductive compounds for SEM analysis
- EpoMet offers excellent edge retention with a high hardness making it ideal for processing very hard materials
- The fine particle size of EpoMet F is great for intricate structures and penetration while the granular size of EpoMet G is easier and cleaner to use
- Eliminate measuring from the mounting process with PhenoCure Pre-Molds
- Save time and maximize cleanliness by eliminating any measuring and pouring of powder
