Hot mounting consumables
Microdiamant only uses granulates as hot mounting consumables so that less soiling from
dust arises during the machining. All products are shipped with instructions and comply
with the current safety regulations.
The following hot mounting consumables are available from stock:
EPO
Mineral-filled epoxy resin (>80 °C) with good edge sharpness and minimal shrinkage.
Color: black
BAK
Phenolic resin filled with wood chips (>100 °C) for standard samples.
Color: black, red, green
BAK-L
Phenolic resin filled with graphite (>100 °C), electrically conductive.
Color: black
BAK-S
Phenolic resin filled with glass fibers (>100 °C), small gap width and high embedding quality.
Color: black
DAP
Reinforced diallyl phthalate-resin (>80 °C) for small parts with tighter requirements for gap
width.
Color: black
CLEAR
Transparent methacrylate-resin (>100 °C) for transparent mounting of specimens.
Color: transparent

Cold mounting consumables are suitable for preparing samples of heat-sensitive materials
as well as for the simultaneous, efficient manufacture of multiple individual samples.
The following 2-component mounting materials are available from stock:
MDG-K
MDG-K is a transparent standard mounting material consisting of powder and hardener.
It is typically processed in a 2:1 mixture and has a hardening time of 8 to 10 minutes.
MDG-KP Powder in 2.5, 5 and 10 kg containers
MDG-KL Hardener in 500 ml and 1 l bottles
MDG-B
MDG-B is a blue colored, liquid mounting material. The standard mixing ratio is 2:1, the
hardening time is 8 to 10 hours.
MDG-BP Resin in 1, 5 and 10 l bottles
MDG-BL Hardener in 500 ml and 1 l bottles
MDG-CBP
MDG-CB is an mounting material that allows sample preparation with small gap width and
low shrinkage. It is white and has a hardening time of 6 to 8 minutes.
MDG-CBP Powder in 2.5, 5 and 10 kg containers
MDG-CBL Hardener in 500 ml and 1 l bottles
C1000
C1000 is an mounting material that does not develop any harmful vapors during hardening
and thus can also be used without a fume extractor. The mounting material is colored blue
and has a hardening time of 6 to 8 minutes.
