QPREP diamond suspensions are the polishing product of choice for materialographic preparations. The range of different chemical bases (water, alcohol, or oil) allows scratch-free polishing, depending on the application.
QPREP diamond suspensions are characterized by
The abrasive used is (industrial) diamond, which is divided into monocrystalline and polycrystalline, since different levels of material removal rate are achieved.
It consists of a multi-crystal, which breaks into smaller components when used, thus repeatedly creating new cutting edges (self-sharpening effect). This results in a high material removal rate and time-optimized polishing results.
It consists of a single crystal that breaks into small slices like a block when used. There is no self-sharpening effect as with polycrystalline diamonds. Due to this, a more material-friendly but also more time-consuming removal rate is achieved during polishing.
QPREP diamond suspensions are used in combination with a lubricant based on water, alcohol, or oil. The right mixing ratio between suspension and lubricant must be observed to achieve correct polishing results. Alternatively, QATM offers the QPREP DIA-Complete All-In-One diamond suspension. It contains the lubricant in an optimized ratio, which eliminates the need for manual dosing and mixing of suspension and lubricant.
