Cold Mounting Resin Systems
For use when speed and ease are required; especially for high volume production. Also for samples that are easily damaged by heat and pressure generated in compression mounting systems.
Acrylic resins are supplied separately and in two-part kits consisting of powder and liquid. Polymerisation takes place at around 75ºC which will not alter most specimens.
Epoxy VLT and Polyester PLT are totally transparent resins which cure at ambient temperature. Kits contain liquid resin and liquid catalyst.
Epoxy VLS is a totally transparent resin which requires a vacuum oven to cure. Kits contain liquid resin and a liquid catalyst.
Acrylic CLB is for conductive mounts for delicate samples.
