HMP5BK Compression Mounting Powder for Metallographic Sample Encapsulation
The HMP5BK compression mounting powder is designed for the economical encapsulation of metallographic samples, particularly those with irregular shapes. This powder enables samples to be securely mounted so they can endure the mechanical pressure and elevated temperatures involved in the mounting process without deformation or damage.
By using this powder, laboratories can prepare samples for microscopic examination or further metallurgical testing with improved handling stability. The product is supplied in a 5-pound bottle and offers color options including black, red, and green to suit different identification or aesthetic preferences.
Key Features
- Suitable for mounting irregularly shaped metallographic samples.
- Resistant to pressure and heat during compression mounting.
- Optional color variants: black, red, and green for sample identification.
