Diamond Compounds
With great experience, technical knowledge, and modern facilities, we are able to manufacture superior diamond compounds and provide reliable service to every one.
Glennel® diamond products are specially formulated to help you prepare surfaces that are usually difficult to polish and require precision finish. To satisfy today's demand the diamond compounds must be complex with near perfect tolerances as is ours.
Types of Diamond:
We use three basic types of diamonds: natural monocrystalline, synthetic monocrystalline, and synthetic polycrystalline. Typical sizes range from 1/10µm to 60µm.
MONOCRYSTALLINE diamonds provide a cost effective means for good stock removal and finish. The natural form has a blocky shape with a smooth surface. Synthetic diamonds have a slightly irregular shape with multiple edges. Precision grading and high quality standards guarantee consistent shape and size. This consistency and unique shape make this a popular diamond for many production-lapping applications.
POLYCRYSTALLINE diamonds are recommended for microscopy, materialography, and where surface finish is extremely critical. We use the highest quality polycrystalline diamonds. It has a uniform blocky shape with a rough surface. Precision microfractures built into each particle provide uniform and consistent fracturing under stress.
