Lapping Compounds

Gem Lapping Compounds are available with a wide range of oil, water, and universal (oil and water soluble) carriers for optimum performance in virtually all applications where cutting or finishing actions are required. Different formulations are used to manipulate carrier chemistry and impart specific properties to the carrier base. To meet varied requirements regarding lubricity and work-piece contamination issues, lapping compounds are available with Oil Soluble, Water Soluble and Universally Soluble carrier jellies.

Product Features:
Oil Soluble Compounds provide the greatest flexibility in carrier chemistry, recommended for applications such as controlled lapping of carbide drawing dies, cold heading dies and other standard polishing

Product Applications.
Water Soluble Compounds are used where petroleum contamination is forbidden. These are carefully engineered to ensure the highest lubricity and thermal consistency.
Universally Soluble compounds have been developed to combine the advantages of both oil and water soluble compounds, increasing the versatility of use.
