Consumables

Our polishing pads and cloths are all supplied with a self adhesive backing fitted, allowing them to be easily attached to a flat plate.

Generally where sample size is 20cm2 / 2″ diameter or less we recommend that a plain pad or plate is used for processing. Where the samples are larger than these sizes grooves are required to allow lapping abrasive or polishing slurry to pass uniformly between the sample and the pad or plate.

Pad life varies considerably depending on the pad type, sample type and processing conditions.

Where a sample material’s hardness is measured at aproximately 4 Mohs or less, we would typically use a glass plate for lapping. Where the hardness is higher than 4 Mohs we would use a cast iron plate.

We recommend a 6 month shelf life for our Chemlox polishing fluid. This life can be extended if the fluid is kept out of direct sunlight with the cap in place and stored in a temperature controlled environment, kept above freezing and lower than 23 degrees C.

Logitech can provide a wide variety of polishing pads and cloths of different characteristics and sizes to meet the different requirements of surface finish, surface roughness and flatness across various materials. The pad material, hardness, compressability and structure all have a bearing on the results that will be achieved.

Generally where the sample size is 20cm2 / 2″ diameter or less we recommend that a plain pad or plate is used for processing. Where the samples are larger than these sizes grooves are required to allow lapping abrasive or polishing slurry to pass uniformly between the sample and the pad or plate.

Depending on the type of pad required, there is a range of shore hardness between A-92 and D-57.

PSA Backing: Specially formulated pressure sensitive adhesive backings are available on all types of Logitech supplied pads. The exposed side of the adhesive is engineered to adhere to all platen material and is resistant to most slurry mixes.

PSA backings are available in formulas ranging from High Holding to Low Tack/Easy Release.

Generally where sample size is 20cm2 / 2″ diameter or less we recommend that a plain pad or plate is used for processing. Where the samples are larger than these sizes grooves are required to allow lapping abrasive or polishing slurry to pass uniformly between the sample and the pad or plate.

Logitech glass slides and substrates are manufactured to stringent procedures, ensuring flatness and the elimination of bubbles, seeds, striae and other imperfections.

Comprised of high quality sheet glass to give maximum resistance to corrosion, the microscope slides also benefit the user with sand blasted edges for greater safety and ease of handling.

For most applications we recommend a ratio of between 10 and 15% abrasive to water in the slurry cylinder. The optimum ratio for a particular process can be confirmed through trials.
