DiaVers Diamond Paste

DiaVers Diamond Paste has been specially formulated for mould polishing to give fast stock removal and at the same time a superior surface finish. Often this can result in fewer polishing steps resulting in lower costs and better quality components.

  • Sharper diamond particles for superior cutting action
  • New oil-based carrier with superior lubricant qualities to improve the surface finish
  • Better adhesion to laps such as felts or wooden laps.
  • Stable to 200°C which allows working on moulds in situ which have not yet cooled
  • VOC Free*

Which polishing paste is most suitable for your application?

The surfaces of tools often require a certain roughness, from technically smooth to a deep high gloss. As is often the case, the right tools are already half the battle here.

What types of diamond paste are there?

Each Kemet diamond paste is a mixture of diamond powder with a specific grade and concentration in a chemical carrier. The pastes contain mono or polycrystalline diamond, carefully sorted by grain size by a specific vision system. Because all diamond grains in the paste are exactly the same size, the Kemet diamond pastes guarantee constant performance. The chemical carriers are formulated specifically for particular applications. This results in a complete range of products, tailored to various materials and application methods.

which diamond paste is best

Manual polishing

When you polish manually, the speed of the polishing tool is relatively low. However, you want a high cutting force for a quick result. The water-based KD diamond paste is suitable for all metals thanks to the availability of different concentrations of diamond. The 90 µm KD paste guarantees fast stock removal. In several steps you can work finer and finer to a super finish with the 0.1 µm paste.

Type KD Diamond Paste

  • Universal diamond paste / diamond compound for stock removal and superfine surface finish.
  • This diamond compound is soluble in both oil and water.
  • Diamond compound recommended for Toolroom and Precision Engineering applications.
  • Available from 1/10 micron to 90 micron
  • Available in 5g Applikator, 10g syringe, 10g stick, 20g syringe and other sizes

Machine polishing of moulds

Do you work with electric or compressed air powered hand motors or even ultrasonic? Then the speed is much higher and you develop much more heat. The L oil-based diamond paste has a very high heat resistance. As a result, the product can be used directly on injection moulds. The paste is slightly sticky so that it stays on the polishing tool well. This way you can work extremely accurately with a minimal amount of diamond paste. Type L is highly concentrated and stays perfectly in suspension if you add oil for possible dilution.

Type L diamond paste

  • Oil Soluble diamond compound / paste specially developed for use on hard materials such as Tungsten Carbide, Hardened Steels and Ceramics.
  • High thermal stability of the carrier ensures that Kemet Diamond Compound resists frictional heat, remains stable and keeps its suspension properties under operating conditions.
  • Diamond compound recommended for Toolroom and General Production applications.
  • Available from 1 micron to 90 micron
  • 5g Applikator, 5g dip jar, 10g syringes and 20g syringes available
