Micro-Tec MET-C conductive hot embedding resin powder

Introduction

The Rave Scientific offers the Micro-Tec MET-C graphite filled conductive thermosetting phenolic compression mounting resin. The low electrical resistance of this hot embedding resin makes it ideally suited for embedding sample used with the following applications:

• SEM imaging
• EDS analysis
• WDS analysis
• electrolytic polishing and etching

For SEM/EDS applications there is no need to coat embedded conductive samples with a conductive gold or carbon coating which improves the accuracy of quantitative X-ray analysis and saves time. Ideally suited for studies at the edge of the sample. Micro-Tec MET-C comes in ready mixed powder form, is black in colour and includes mineral particles to improve edge retention. The conductivity is provided by graphite powder. Micro-Tec MET-C is to be used in a hot embedding press. Embedding temperature is 160-190° C with a nominal pressure of 25 MPA (3300PSI). Typical curing time is 6-10 minutes.  Micro-Tec MET-C is supplied in a container with 500gram resin powder.
