Mounting systems

In materialography, material samples are typically embedded in synthetic material applying a specific mounting procedure.

This procedure ensures that the samples are held securely for the subsequent mechanical preparation.

Appropriate mounting is fundamental to achieve a materialographic section's optimal flatness and edge retention and thus provides the basis for successful subsequent preparation steps.

Cold mounting is an appropriate method to prepare synthetic mounts and offers a number of advantages: time saving, high flexibility, and high economic efficiency. That is why, from the beginning of the company's history, SCAN-DIA has favoured cold mounting so that we can offer our customers an extensive range of cold mounting products today. Continuous further development and innovative additions to our product range are a matter of course for us.

SCAN-DIA's product range is particularly easy to handle. It comprises the following products:

·         Three different mounting resins: SCANDIPLAST standard mounting resin | SCANDIQUICK quick mounting resin | SCANDIPLEX special mounting resin

·         A particularly comprehensive range of silicone rubber embedding moulds, the SCANDIFORMS. They are available in more than 30 variants: from small and round moulds to larger, rectangular ones

·         A variety of useful and practical mounting accessories: EMBEDDING SET, SCANDICLIP plastic clips, VACUUM SET UNIVERSAL, a vacuum mounting and impregnating device, AEQUIDUR hardness regulator, etc.
