An Engis application engineer can assist you in selecting the best product for your application.
Diamond Pastes
Diamond pastes are thick formulations, dispensed from a syringe or jar and manually spread across the part. Pastes are the most commonly used form of diamond compound for hand polishing, and they are used with a companion lubricant.
| Compound Type | L | W | FiveStar (FS) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solubility | Oil | Water | Universal (Oil/Water) |
| Companion Lubricant | OS-IV | W Lubricant | OS-IV or W |
| Compound Package Options | Syringe (5, 18, 50, 100 gram), Hyplicator® (10 gram) or Jar (100, 5000 gram) | ||
Diamond Gels
Diamond gels are thinner than pastes, but still thick enough to be applied with a syringe. The thinner consistency results in slower drying, reducing scratching on larger parts while maintaining good adhesion to lapping tools and parts. Great for automated or hand polishing.
| Compound Type | L-GEL | W-GEL |
|---|---|---|
| Solubility | Oil | Water |
| Companion Lubricant | OS-IV | W Lubricant |
| Compound Package Options | Syringe (18,100 gram) | |
Flowable Compounds
Flowable compounds can be poured or pumped for applications using automated polishing. The thick formulation will flow around the part while maintaining good adhesion.
| Compound Type | L-FLO | W-FLO |
|---|---|---|
| Solubility | Oil | Water |
| Companion Lubricant | OS-IV | W Lubricant |
