Description
Alumina Suspensions & Powders
Final polishing suspensions are designed to remove the final layer of surface deformation and prepare a sample for analysis. Deformities may not be visible to the naked eye, but must be removed for some specimen analysis techniques.
A variety of alumina and silica products are offered by Buehler including colloidal silica polishing suspension to meet many different application needs.
