Optimise your grinding and polishing process

Mechanical preparation is the most common method of preparing materialographic specimens for microscopic examination. Abrasives are used in successively finer steps to remove material from the specimen until the required result is reached. This process can broadly be divided into grinding and polishing.

Are you looking for perfect results from your true structure? Or perhaps a few artefacts are acceptable as long as they do not disturb your analysis? No matter your preparation goal, we can help you optimise your process with consumables and methods for the whole grinding and polishing process.

A grinding consumable for any need

Perhaps you need a flexible grinding surface for the occasional specimen? Or a high-performance solution for a high-volume lab? Choose from our full range of consumables for plane grinding and fine grinding any material – hard or soft, ductile or brittle. No matter your lab set-up, equipment or preparation goal, we can help you maximise your reproducibility and optimise your quality, speed or efficiency without over-processing.

A polishing consumable for any need

What preparation requirements do you have for your analysis? Do you have a high throughput or just the occasional specimen? Do you work with one kind of material or many? Our complete range of polishing consumables comes in all kinds of formats – including diamond polishing suspensions – for any material, any preparation goal, and any lab set-up. They ensure accurate and consistent results you can rely on, while improving your process speed, efficiency, and safety.
