Vehicles Availability and Applications Chart

Viscosity & PH Water and Glycol Based Vehicles Oil Based Vehicles
Lapping and Polishing Applications
Super light Viscosity 0÷5 CPS PH=8÷9. This Glycol Based Vehicle made especially for electronic industry to be used with atomizing delivery systems. Slurry needs to be agitated to keep abrasives well suspended.
Light Viscosity 10÷30 CPS PH=7÷9. This Water Based Vehicle is recommended for processes where environmental issues are critical. Abrasive sizes to be under 30 um. Powder may settle down, agitation is recommended. Recommended for polishing hard ceramics and carbides with abrasives smaller than 10 um.
Medium Viscosity 60÷100 CPS PH=8÷9 This Water Based Vehicle is recommended for use with Silicon Carbide and Diamonds, size under 100 um. Powder will stay in suspension. Recommended for use with Boron Carbide and Diamond, all different sizes, for processes requiring a high material stock removal rate.
Heavy Viscosity 300÷500 CPS PH=8÷9. This Water Based Vehicle is recommended to use with Boron Carbide and Diamonds where uniformity of abrasive suspension is critical. Powder size over 100 um.
Slicing Applications
Heavy Viscosity Concentrate This Glycol Based Vehicle is recommended for use in slicing processes in wire and blade saw cutting machines. Recommended to use in standard slicing processes.
Heavy Viscosity 400÷500 CPS PH=8÷9. This Glycol Based Vehicle has cutting and cooling benefits are equal to oil based products. Can be diluted to obtain desired viscosity as needed with water or glycol. Can be diluted to proper viscosity level with standard thinners.
