Applications and Classification of Hyperion Polishing Compounds

Hyperion polishing compounds come in a variety of physical forms, including oil-based and water-based diamond polishing powders, diamond polishing pastes, slurries, and suspensions. These formulations cater to the diverse polishing needs of customers. If you are looking for diamond polishing solutions for your workpiece surfaces, don’t miss this article on the applications and classification of Hyperion polishing compounds.

1. Diamond Compound Paste

1.1. Characteristics

Diamond compound paste consists of synthetic diamond particles, natural diamonds, polycrystalline diamonds, or CBN particles blended with specially formulated binders designed for grinding or polishing applications.

The concentration of diamond particles in the paste determines the level of surface smoothness and finish quality it can achieve:

• Low concentration (10–20%): Suitable for achieving fine surface finishes.

• Medium concentration (30–50%): The most commonly used range, offering high material removal rates while delivering smooth and uniform finishes.

• High concentration (60–90%): Typically used for final polishing stages to achieve mirror-like finishes.

1.2. Applications

Diamond polishing pastes are used for grinding and polishing to create a smooth and uniform surface for casting molds, extrusion molds, metal molds, hard drives, wire molds, optoelectronics, etc.

Water-based diamond polishing pastes are most effective when special cleaning is required and in clean, uncontaminated areas. They are recommended for use in universities, R&D laboratories and metallurgical manufacturing plants.

Oil-based diamond polishing pastes are best used for controlled grinding of carbide drawing dies, cold forging dies and other polishing applications.

2. Slurries & Suspensions

2.1. Characteristics

Slurries and suspensions are abrasive materials containing diamond particles suspended in a liquid medium.

2.2. Applications

Diamond polishing slurries and suspensions are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, electronics production, and precision machining applications. When paired with polishing tools such as specialized pads, cloths, or lapping plates, they enable gradual removal of material from the surface being processed, ensuring precision and high-quality finishes.

It specializes in polycrystalline diamonds and monocrystalline diamonds.

3. Hyperion Diamond Solutions

Hyperion Diamond features patented synthetic diamond crystals with unique properties, offering more cutting edges compared to conventional monocrystalline or polycrystalline micron diamonds. It is available in various forms, including powders, slurries, suspensions, and compounds.

Hyperion Diamond products are currently offered in micron sizes ranging from 0.25 µm to 100 µm. Note: Sub-micron sizes smaller than 1 µm are available in limited quantities. Please consult your Hyperion sales representative for availability.

A notable product in the Hyperion Diamond slurry range is the water-based K285T, designed for grinding applications where exceptional cleaning is required, but petroleum contamination cannot be tolerated.
