Silicon carbide grinding foils for perfect metallographic sample preparation

QPREP silicon carbide grinding foils can be used individually and are ideally suited for a wide range of varied materials. They offer a high degree of flexibility, especially for frequently changing material variants. Furthermore, the foils are ideally suited for the "Vakujet" vacuum fixation in the QATM automatic grinding and polishing machine Qpol 300 Bot. QPREP silicon carbide grinding foils are available in diameters of 250 and 300 mm and in 8 different grain sizes. 

Product Advantages

  • Suitable for vacuum fixation
  • Particularly high planarity
  • No curling
  • Tear and water resistant, so weakening during the grinding process can be excluded
  • Low resilience
  • Multiple uses possible in connection with QPREP adhesive carrier disc

Recommended applications

  • All-purpose usage
  • Suitable for planar, pre- and fine grinding steps due to different grain sizes
