Poly-Acrymount
Embedding Kit
EMS #1276
Description
Poly-AcryMount is a fast curing cold mount material consisting of two liquids and one powder. This kit is especially designed for quick mounting of specimens requiring low shrinkage and good wear resistance. Poly-AcryMount is very hard and good adhesion resulting in excellent edge retention and a plane surface. Poly-AcryMount may, after curing, be cut, ground, polished and drilled, etc.
Operation
- Degrease the specimen before it is placed in the mounting cup.
- Mix 2 parts by weight of liquid I with 1 part by weight of liquid II in a plastic cup. Add 3 parts by weight of powder and stir carefully for 2 minutes. Let the mixture rest for 1.2 minutes, and then stir again for ½ minute.
- If you cannot weight the components, you may use the following volume proportioning instead: 2 parts liquid I, 1 part liquid II, and 3 parts powder. Please not that EMS recommends weighing to obtain the best possible mounting quality.
- Pour the mixture carefully over the specimen in the mounting cup so that no air bubbles are caught, and let the mixture harden.
