Pace Technologies, MA-0225-05, 0.25 Micron White Diamat Monocrystalline Dia-mond Paste (5 gm)

Features:

• Higher cutting rates
• Very uniform surface finish
• More uniform particle size distribution
• Higher removal rates (self sharpening abrasives)
• Harder/tougher particles
• Blocky shaped
• Hexagonal microcrystallites (equally hard in all directions)
• Extremely rough surface (more cutting points)
• Surface area 300% greater than monocrystalline dia-mond
• No abrasion-resistant directionality (abrasion independent of particle orientation)

dia-mond pastes have been and continue to be commonly used for hand or manual polishing steps because they are easy to apply and the dia-mond can be better charged or fixed into the polishing pad as compared to dia-mond suspensions. They are less commonly used on automated polishing machines becausedia-mond suspensions are easier to apply and they also have a built-in lubricant. The use of dia-mond pastes requires the application of an additional dia-mond extender or lubricant, which is typically a glycol or alcohol based solution.
