Superabrasive Formulations

Advanced Abrasives Corporation offers the highest quality diamond and cubic boron nitride superabrasives products in the industry with a broad selection of tightly held micron particle sizes to choose from. Our standard water-based, oil-based, or universal-based carrier mediums are all available in slurry, suspension, or compound formats. These products are also available in several package size choices for high-volume accounts or customized formulations, while private labeling is always an option. Whether it is a standard product or a formulation tailored to your specific industry’s needs, we’ll ensure that the quality of your superabrasives is assured with our continuous quality control checks and rigorous monitoring of the process using state-of-the-art equipment.

Unlike conventional abrasives, our superabrasives provide the ultimate form of strength. For more information on our services and to increase production in your area of expertise, get in touch with Advanced Abrasives Corporation. We offer products worldwide, including in the USA, Europe, and Asia.

Our Three Carrier Base Formulations

Spearheading our superabrasives are our three carrier base formulations designed for various applications. Each base comes with a unique design for different abrasive types. Our water base, oil base, and universal base provide users of superabrasives with a fast removal rate, quick and easy cleanup, and various other benefits. Dive into our carrier-based formulations below.

  • Water Base – Our Aqua-Pol series. Formulated for ease of use in lapping and polishing systems where fast removal rates with high surface finishes are required. They are water-soluble, so no harsh chemicals are needed for cleanup.
  • Oil Base – Our Petro-Pol series. Formulated for applications needing the highest quality of surface finish for which petroleum distillates are commonly used or for applications where water cannot be tolerated due to corrosion concerns.
  • Universal Base – Our Uni-Pol series. Formulated for compatibility with most petroleum distillate applications and water extender applications. They offer quick, easy cleanup without sacrificing the surface finish associated with oil-based formulations.

Slurries, Suspensions, and Compounds 

Our various forms of slurries have very low viscosity for ease of application using dispensers and sprayers. Suspensions are ideal when continuous stirring or shaking is not an option, but homogeneous dispersion of diamond is required. We also include metal bond, resin bond, or natural diamonds within our Monocrystalline slurry and suspension lineup. Our compounds are ideal for precise application or use on inclined surfaces, and their fast cleanup means they’re a perfect solution for a quick job or two.

Custom Tailored Superabrasive Formulations

We offer custom-tailored superabrasive formulations because we know one size doesn’t fit all in the world of precision grinding. Our clients come to us with unique challenges that demand specialized solutions. By crafting unique superabrasive formulations, we empower you to achieve superior results in your specific applications. Whether you’re working with hardened steel or tungsten carbide, our tailored approach optimizes your grinding process, boosting efficiency and product quality. We analyze your requirements, considering factors like material properties, desired finish, and production volume. This allows us to create the perfect blend of superabrasives, bond materials, and porosity for your needs. The result? Grinding wheels and similar tools that perform exactly as you need them to.

Superabrasive Lubricants and Extenders

Our superabrasive lubricants and extenders are critical components in maximizing the performance of your grinding wheels. These specialized formulations serve two key purposes. First, they reduce friction and heat generation during the grinding process, prolonging the life of your cBN grinding wheel and improving the quality of your finished product. Second, they help maintain the optimal cutting characteristics of the superabrasives throughout the wheel’s lifespan. Our lubricants are carefully engineered to work in harmony with various superabrasive materials, including diamond and cubic boron nitride (cBN). By incorporating these advanced lubricants, you’ll experience smoother grinding operations, reduced wheel wear, and improved surface finishes on your workpieces.

Industries That Use Our Superabrasives

Our versatile superabrasive solutions serve numerous industries, each with its own set of challenges and requirements. We’ve developed a wide range of formulations to meet the diverse needs of our clients across multiple sectors. Industries include:

  • Aerospace: Precision grinding of turbine components and landing gear parts
  • Automotive: Manufacturing of engine components and transmission gears
  • Medical: Production of surgical instruments and implants
  • Tool and Die: Fabrication of cutting tools and molds
  • Electronics: Processing of semiconductor materials and circuit boards
  • Energy: Grinding of wind turbine components and oil drilling equipment
  • Optics: Shaping and polishing of lenses and mirrors
  • Heavy Machinery: Maintenance and repair of large industrial equipment

In each of these fields, our abrasive material excels at handling tough products like hardened steel and tungsten carbide. We work closely with clients to address their specific requirements, providing the optimal grinding wheel for each unique application.
