Moulds and clips for metallographic embedding

Micro-Tec blue silicone embedding moulds are used for metallographic embedding with cold embedding resins.  Multi-use blue silicone does not adhere to embedding resins and does not require a releasing agent. This is ideal for porous samples where it avoids contamination from the mould releasin agent. Flexible silicone moulds allow for easy removal of the hardened mounts.

Available moulds:

• Micro-Tec MC25 for Ø 25mm metallographic mounts, inside dimensions are Ø 25 x 18mm.
• Micro-Tec MC30 for Ø 30mm metallographic mounts, inside dimensions are Ø 30 x 18mm.
• Micro-Tec MC40 for Ø 40mm metallographic mounts, inside dimensions are Ø 40 x 25mm.
• Micro-Tec MC75 for 70×50 mm large rectangular metallographic mounts with inside dimensions of 75 x 50 x 20mm.

Metallographic embedding clips

Micro-Tec embedding clips are designed to hold thin samples for cold or hot embedding. Micro-Tec clips hold the sample vertically and keeps it stable during embedding and curing of the resin.  They are ideal for embedding thin samples and cross sectioning. Examples include: samples printed circuit boards, silicon chips, foils, sheets, thin batteries, paper, etc. Available embedding clips:

• Micro-Tec C7 stainless steel coil embedding clip, compatible with both hot and cold embedding. The stainless steel also provide support during grinding and polishing to improve edge retention. Dimensions: 7 x 120mm.
• Micro-Tec C6 PET plastic coil embedding clip, compatible with cold embedding resins. The small coil allows for multiple samples with coils in a single embedding. Dimensions: 6 x 100mm.
• Micro-Tec T1C clear PE plastic embedding T-clip intended for cold embedding resins. The clear clips are hardly visible in clear embedding materials. Dimensions: 10 x 9 x 13mm.
• Micro-Tec T1W white nylon plastic embedding T-clip intended for cold embedding resins. The white clips gives good contrast against dark materials. Dimensions: 10 x 9 x 13mm.
• Micro-Tec T1B black nylon plastic embedding T-clip intended for cold embedding resins. The black clips gives good contrast against light-coloured materials. Dimensions: 10 x 9 x 13mm.
• Micro-Tec S5B black nylon plastic, multiple embedding S clip intended for cold embedding resins. The S-type clips can hold up to five thin samples. Dimensions: 20 x 10 x 8mm.
