PHENOFREE hot moulding resin
New phenol-free and formaldehyde-free thermosetting mounting resin
In line with its ecological commitment, LAM PLAN proposes on the market the first effective alternative to phenol metallographic mounting resins which are liable to release phenol (and/or formaldehyde) during baking.
The PHENOFREE mounting is intended for the technical mounting of all types of materials for material examinations or edge examinations. It smartly replaces the traditional phenol mounting resins with the same hardness and less shrinkage than a phenol mounting resins.
The range of PHENOFREE resins includes 3 coloured resins (grey, white and red) to make the identification of your metallographic samples easier. They are particularly adapted for the polishing of hard materials. The white Phenofree resin may prove to be in some cases a good alternative to the use of epoxy resins.

 EPOXY RESINS 633 AND 634 |
The black epoxy mounting resin is filled with glass fibres with high mineral loads. It is ideal for mountings intended for edge examinations of hard to extra hard materials thanks to its resistance to abrasion, important hardness, and absence of shrinkage. The 634 is a fine powder epoxy resin, used for examination of edged samples. | 633 | ||
| Black epoxy powder, loaded with glass fibres Edges examinations Extra hardness - No shrinkage |

 ACRYLIC RESINS 616 AND 616.2 |
The acrylic resin 616 is perfectly transparent and adapted to most materials. Mainly used to view the evolution of the grinding of the sample. Perfectly transparent with no cotton effect, the acrylic resin 616.2 is resistant to alcohol, and therefore ideal for work with alcohol-based polishing products or requiring a cleaning phase with ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, or other. |

Advice on the use of LAM PLAN hot mounting resins
Diagnosis and guidance for hot mounting resins
Before beginning any mounting process, the grease needs to be removed from the samples in order for the resin to adhere to the contours of the parts. Check if any burrs were committed in the cutting process. If necessary, deburr the sample’s edges with an abrasive paper.
