Through 3 parts, we learned about diamond polishing powders from the Kemet brand. So what is diamond polishing powder made of? Let's learn more details about Diamond Powder with AMS!

1. What is diamond polishing powder made of?

In addition to the main ingredient diamond, other ingredients are surfactants or emulsions, water-based and oil-based. Typically, there are a variety of active ingredients, including: perfluorooctanoic acid, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Alkylbenzene sulfonate, Soapy water, Cetrimonium bromide, Cetylpyridinium chloride, Cetyl Alcohol, Polysorbates, etc.

Diamond powder is a paste prepared from diamond powder, carrier and dispersing agent. It belongs to the soft abrasive type and can be divided into oil-soluble abrasive powder and water-soluble abrasive powder.

2. Soluble abrasive powder

Oil-soluble abrasive powder has good lubricating effect and high smoothness. It is suitable for metal workpieces, such as hard alloys, parts made of high hardness materials, measuring equipment, grinding and polishing of measuring instruments, cutting tools, molds, etc.

The viscosity of water-soluble abrasive powder is small, grinding debris is easy to remove, grinding efficiency is high, and the surface finish is good. It can be arbitrarily selected according to needs during actual application; Mainly used in the grinding and polishing of gemstones, glass, ceramics, cemented carbide and hardened steel to a high degree of finish.

When grinding and polishing different materials, it is necessary to choose products with different grain sizes according to experience and knowledge to ensure that the polishing process brings the best results.

Commonly used abrasive powders:

  • Corundum type abrasive powder: mainly used for grinding parts made from steel.

  • Silicon carbide - boron carbide abrasive powder: mainly used for grinding cemented carbide, glass, ceramics, semiconductors, etc.

  • Chromium oxide abrasive powder: mainly used for non-metallic polishing or grinding.

  • Diamond abrasive powder: mainly used for grinding hard alloys and other high hardness materials.

3. What is a dispersant?

Dispersants are a type of surfactant with two opposing properties: lipophilicity and hydrophilicity. It can evenly dispersed solid particles of inorganic and organic pigments that are difficult to dissolve in liquids, and at the same time prevent the sedimentation and agglomeration of solid particles. Besides, it forms the necessary pharmaceutical for stable suspensions.

4. What are surfactants?

A surfactant is a substance whose molecules are formed from two separate particles, including lipophilic particles and hydrophilic particles. When dissolved in water, it reduces the surface tension of water and increases the solubility of organic compounds. Surfactants are used in foaming, surface modification, cleaning, emulsification, and rheology effects. The substances in surfactants are environmentally friendly and safe for users' health, so the product is used as an additive in many industries, especially used in personal products, take care of family. Besides, the substance is also used in industrial applications such as metal processing, industrial cleaning,...
