Cold mounting resins

Mainly intended for the metallography research sector, the LAM PLAN range of cold mounting resins offers many technical and economic advantages.

The cold mounting resins are the solution for samples which do not withstand high pressure or temperature. In addition, they allow responding in a simple and efficient way to timely needs by circumventing the investment of a hot mounting press. You can achieve a large quantity of samples simultaneously while adjusting precisely the volume of mounting material and shape of the moulds.

Cold mounting resins

Acrylic cold mounting resin

601.2 Acrylic resin

The fluidity of this transparent mounting resin and its very low shrinkage ensure a maximum penetration ratio in cavities. It is ideal for microelectronics, optics and microsystem applications. Compatible for conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations.

Mono-component resin easy to dose and manipulate (no loss). Polymerisation with low temperature rise in 20 minutes in the blue light device M.M.866 + 10 minutes for the surface varnish. With no disturbing odour, it is resistant to alcohol and acids.

613 Epoxy cold mounting resins NEW

lamplan metallographie resinesafroid epoxy613 gamme

613 resins are hard, transparent, two-component epoxy resins used for high-quality technical metallographic mounting at room temperature.

613 resins have very low to zero shrinkage, excellent adhesion to all kinds of materials and very good chemical resistance. With their low viscosity, 613 resins are ideal for coating metallographic samples with complex shapes, porosities or delicate technical coatings.

They can be impregnated using the M.M.818 vacuum mounting unit. De-bubbling and shrinkage can also be improved by using the M.M.808 pressure mounting unit.
613 resins are CMR-free.

Technical specifications, see specifications table.

665 Methyl-methacrylate resin NEW

Cold setting resin for sample recovery.
Mounting is a step in metallographic sample preparation which enables samples to be ground and polished more ergonomically. Embedding the sample in a resin is usually irreversible and recovering the sample (if necessary) after embedding proves almost impossible.

Resin 665 is a cold mounting resin that has the unique ability to dissolve in acetone. This ability is transformed into a sustainable functionality to recover metallographic specimens after mounting. After metallographic processing of costly materials such as noble metals, it is often important from an economic an technical perspective to recover the samples from the mounting resin.
