| Cold mounting resins Mainly intended for the metallography research sector, the LAM PLAN range of cold mounting resins offers many technical and economic advantages. The cold mounting resins are the solution for samples that do not withstand high pressure or temperature. In addition, they allow responding in a simple and efficient way to timely needs by circumventing the investment of a hot mounting press. You can achieve a large number of samples simultaneously while adjusting precisely the volume of mounting material and shape of the moulds. |

 ACRYLIC RESIN 601.2 |
The fluidity of this transparent mounting resin and its very low shrinkage ensure a maximum penetration ratio in cavities It is ideal for microelectronics, optics, and microsystem applications. Compatible for conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations. Mono-component resin is easy to dose and manipulate (no loss). Polymerization with low-temperature rise in 20 minutes in the blue light device M.M.866 + 10 minutes for the surface varnish. With no disturbing odour, it is resistant to alcohol and acids. |

 EPOXY RESIN 603 |
The Resin 603 is a two-component epoxy resin without CMR substance used to achieve high-quality technical metallographic mountings at room temperature. This resin is the best choice when the transparency of the coating is a requirement. The resin has zero shrinkage, excellent adhesion to all kinds of materials, and a very good chemical resistance. With an ideally adjusted viscosity, the resin 603 is used to mount metallographic specimens with complex shapes, porosities, or delicate technical coatings. |

 EPOXY RESIN 603.2 |
The Resin 603.2 is a fast-curing two-component epoxy resin without CMR substance used to make technical metallographic mountings. It must be used on materials that withstand temperatures of 140°C. This transparent resin has zero shrinkage, excellent adhesion to all kinds of materials, and very good chemical resistance. |

 METHYL-METHACRYLATE RESIN 605 |
Versatile, it is adapted to the majority of common materials for the fast-mounting standard sample. It is possible to change the viscosity by modifying the proportion of the mixture: liquid + powder. Resistant to the principal acids used in laboratories. Solvent-free and CMR-free (no Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, toxic to Reproduction susptences). |

 POLYESTER RESIN 607 |
The Resin 607 is a three-component resin based on modified polyester. This fast curing resin adheres perfectly to metal surfaces and its mechanical characteristics make it particularly effective on very hard materials. Its very low shrinkage allows edge examinations on metallographic samples. It is resistant to the main acids and bases used in laboratories. Characteristics Qty. Ref. |

 METHYL-METHACRYLATE RESIN 665 |
Cold-setting resin for sample recovery. Mounting is a step in metallographic sample preparation which enables samples to be ground and polished more ergonomically. Embedding the sample in a resin is usually irreversible and recovering the sample (if necessary) after embedding proves almost impossible. Resin 665 is a cold mounting resin that has the unique ability to dissolve in acetone. This ability is transformed into a sustainable functionality to recover metallographic specimens after mounting. After the metallographic processing of costly materials such as noble metals, it is often important from an economic and technical perspective to recover the samples from the mounting resin. |

 METHYL-METHACRYLATE RESIN 609 |
A perfectly transparent resin used for precision parts, notably those of the electrical or electronics industry. It renders the sample perfectly visible, which allows the analysis of precise points. It must be used with the pneumatic device M.M.808 to obtain optimum transparency. The methyl-methacrylate resin 609 is available in the Plastichrome version – 5 transparent colors to simplify the classification of samples. Solvent-free and CMR-free (no Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, toxic to Reproduction susptences). |

Advice on the use of LAM PLAN cold resins
Procedure for cold mounting
Keep the thin samples on the slice. Mix the resin components in the indicated proportions. Mix gently to avoid creating air bubbles. Pour the resin into the mould to the desired level and allow it to cure in the open air or in an M.M.808 pressure vessel to remove any bubbles or pores. To limit heating and shrinkage, fill the mould in successive layers.
