Abrasive Types
- Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide)
- The raw materials from which this high performance technical grade ceramic is made are readily available and reasonably priced, resulting in good value for the cost in fabricated alumina shapes.
- cBNP (Cubic Boron Nitride Powder)
- cBNP is the clear winner when machining ferrous materials. It is second only to diamond in hardness. cBNP has a high thermal conductivity which makes it ideal for high temperature applications.
- Colloidal Silica (Colloidal Silica)
- Colloidal silicas are suspensions of fine amorphous, nonporous, and typically spherical silica particles in a liquid phase.
- MDP (Standard Grade Metal Bond)
- MDP is the popular choice for most lapping and polishing applications. It is the optimum choice when the characteristics of MDP(N) are not required.
- NA (Not Applicable)
- NDP (Natural Diamond Powder)
- The natural alternative to synthetic diamond. NDP exhibits a high surface finish while maintaining above average stock removal.
- PDP (Polycrystalline Diamond Powder)
- PDP is made up of nano-crystallites that give it a unique break down mechanism which allows new cutting edges to be exposed creating a self-sharpening characteristic. PDP is used primarily for lapping and polishing sapphire, ruby, metallographic samples, fiber optics and ceramics along with disk texturing, head polishing and lapping of substrates.
- RDP (Resin Bond Diamond Powder)
- RDP is the recommended product for machining many types of ceramic, glass and tungsten carbide. This material is ideal for all vitrified, phenolic and polyimide bond systems.
- SiC (Silicon Carbide)
- Black SiC abrasives are suitable for grinding cast iron, non-ferrous metals, leather, rubber, plastics, wood and mineral rocks. Refractory grains are also available to make high grade refractory products.
