Mounting Tabs & Adhesives

Two part, electrically conductive silver epoxy suitable for mounting SEM samples.

Loctite® 460 is a fast curing, low odour, low viscosity glue which can be used as an alternative to wax for mounting samples on glass for TEM/FIB thinning. 50g. 

Silver pen suitable for affixing samples to SEM stubs, making instant conductive traces.

Leit C ia a conductive plasticine like material that can be used to mount larger specimens on SEM stubs.

Leit C is a suspension of very fine conducting carbon particles in a volatile carrier, suitable for forming conducting bonds between specimens and stubs.

A temperature sensitive adhesive which may be applied to a heated stub to yield a sticky surface for holding specimens. 15g. 

Fast drying, ultrathin clear adhesive suitable for mounting small particles which can be submerged in other adhesives.

Thermoplastic wax ideal for fixing ceramics, glasses and semiconductor materials to specimen mounts for grinding, dimpling or ion beam thinning.

Highly conductive, copper based spray suitable for shielding against electromagnetic interference, as well as to protect against electrostatic discharge.

Dry film graphite spray lubricant containing finely divided graphite. 200ml. 

Aerosol spray which can be applied to non-conducting specimens, enabling them to be examined uncoated at low resolution in the SEM.

Fibre tip pen dispensing an all purpose glue, useful for mounting particulate samples on SEM stubs.

EPO-TEK® 353ND is a two component, high temperature epoxy originally designed for semiconductor, fibre optic and medical applications.

EPO-TEK® H20E is a two component, silver filled, epoxy system consisting of a silver resin paste and a silver resin hardener.

QuickStick is a temporary mounting wax, with a melting point of 135°C, used to bond samples during processing.
