Abrasive Lapping Paste

The Kemet range of specially formulated Lapping Compounds (White Aluminium Oxide and Silicon Carbide) have many applications but are particularly suited for the lapping of mechanical seals, valve seats and valve grinding as they retain texture and lubrication during extended lapping operations.

The main advantages include:

  • Easy to clean - Water soluble
  • Not petroleum based - environmentally friendly
  • Fast & Effective Cutting
  • Good Lubricity
  • Strictly manufactured in house to ISO 9001:2015 Quality standards
  • Only finely graded abrasives used

Kemet Abrasive Lapping Paste

Silicon Carbide Lapping Paste

The preferred abrasive for fast cutting of all but the hardest and toughest metals. It will produce a smooth flat surface, but not a polished one.

Boron Carbide Paste

Boron Carbide lapping paste is a high performance abrasive with a hardness and chemical resistance comparable to that of diamond. It is ideal for machining hard materials by lapping, sawing or ultrasonic drilling.

Boron carbide is suitable for

  • Lapping
  • Ultrasonic Boring of Glass, semi precious stones and ceramics
  • Wire sawing of ceramics and sapphire
  • Machining of drawing dies
  • Moulds & dies
  • Wire guides
  • Valve Seats
