IU30 Vacuum Impregnation Unit

Categories: Bonding & Impregnation Units, View All

Description

Logitech’s IU30 Vacuum Impregnation Unit is a self-contained unit for high quality encapsulation and impregnation of specimens with synthetic resins.

This simple to use system is a key Logitech product with geological researchers. The IU30 Vacuum Impregnation Unit allows both sample and resin to be evacuated seperately and enables resin to be delivered to the sample while it remains under vacuum.

Typical Applications
The IU30 is ideal for impregnation where the material types are too soft or friable for processing from raw state. This includes; soils, concretes, cements and clay. It is of particular benefit for high volume laboratories and for impregnation of large sample formats.

Geological Sciences

In many areas of geological study such as mineralogy, petrography and sedimentology you are required to analyse the characteristics of the materials such as soil or rock. To be able to do this a thin section needs to be prepared for microscopic examination.

Logitech precision equipment is ideal for thin or ultra-thin section preparation. Our wide range of versatile systems enable you to trim, lap and polish geological thin sections such as rock, coal, concete and soils.

Each of our systems are fully supported by a wide range of accessories and consumables, such as abrasive powders, polishing cloths and mounting media.

Other Applications

Logitech systems are used by organisations across the world for many different complex sample preparation processes.

Including the thin section preparation of; Teeth, Bone, Otoliths, Ceramics, Metals, Alloys, Polymers and other Carbon-based materials.

Glass Microscope Slides

Logitech glass microscope slides are used for the permanent mounting of thin rock, concrete and soil thin sections.

Glass Slide Coverslips

Glass coverslips protect valuable thin sections and improve optical clarity for transmitted microscopy.

Keystone Blue

Logitech Keystone Blue dye is used in the impregnation of geological samples with synthetic resins.

DIAMONDS ARE AN ENGINEER’S BEST FRIEND

In recent years, diamond has emerged as not only a girl’s best friend, but also as contender as an engineer’s best friend – if the technical challenges of exploiting its remarkable properties can be overcome.

THE END OF THE CHIP FOR SILICON?

Silicon-based semiconducting integrated circuits have changed the world immeasurably over the past 50 years. Today the number of silicon chips in use far outweighs the number of humans currently alive.

OPTIMAL FRICTION FOR OPTIMAL FLATNESS

The wafers used to make semiconducting chips for electronic devices all have one thing in common – they need to be smooth – super smooth. Typically, wafer flatness needs to be controlled within ±2 μm.
