Crystalbond Adhesive Stick

Crystalbond adhesives allow temporary bonding of delicate crystals, metallurgical samples, glass components and ceramic substrates for dicing, slicing, drilling, grinding and polishing. They adhere readily to metals, glass and ceramics, and after machining can be washed away using suitable solvents.

Applications include:

• Machining advanced ceramics
• Lapping and polishing optical components
• Dicing ceramic substrates and semiconductor wafers
• Dicing ferrites, glasses and piezoelectrics
• Dicing metal and optical single crystals
• Mounting cross-sections for electron microscopy
• Backfilling components for temporary mechanical support

Crystalbond 509 provides excellent adhesion and minimizes clogging of diamond tools compared to waxes. They are transparent in thin cross-sections. Soluble in acetone, odorless, non-flammable, biodegradable and may be rinsed in water. Download the MSD sheet for Crystalbond 509 here

Crystalbond 555-HMP and Crystalbond 555 are low melting point adhesives for moderate stress machining processes, dry plasma etching silicon wafers, de-panelling copper plated Teflon® boards, and dicing ceramic green tape. Transparent in thin cross-sections, and soluble in hot water. 555 has a Flow Point of 54ºC; 555-HMP is 66ºC.
