Hot Mounting Resins for Sample Preparation

Hot Mounting Resins for Sample Preparation 

MSE Supplies offers Hot Mounting Resins that works perfectly on Metkon Mounting Press Machines and they are also compatible with a variants of other brands' Mounting Press Machines. The aim of mounting is to handle small or odd shaped specimens and to protect fragile materials, thin layers or coating during preparation as well as to provide good edge retention. Mounting produces specimens with uniform size makes it easier to handle in automatic holders for further preparation steps. Metallographic specimens are typically "mounted" using a hot compression thermosetting resin. 

The most important properties of a hot mounting resin are: Hardness, Shrinkage and Viscosity. The hardness of the resin should match the hardness of the specimen in order to avoid uneven abrasion during grinding. If the shrinkage during curing is large, a gap between the specimen and the mount will occur and edge will not be adequately protected. Viscosity is important to reach to all areas.
