Mounting Solutions for Reliable Sample Preparation

Ensuring a high-quality mounted sample is important in metallographic preparation. The right choice of mounting resin ensures the sample is correctly embedded, protected, and prepared for subsequent grinding and polishing steps. At Akasel, we offer a range of premium cold and hot mounting resins optimized to deliver excellent adhesion, minimal shrinkage, and superior edge retention, making your samples ready for further preparation.

Whether you are using cold mounting for fragile or heat-sensitive specimens or hot mounting in a mounting press, our consumables provide consistent, reliable results. By using Akasel’s mounting resins, you can prevent common issues like fluid leaking from a gap between the sample and mounting material or edge rounding, ensuring that each sample is perfectly prepared for the next steps in the metallographic process.

Cold Mounting

Cold mounting has to be used for embedding of heat sensitive or fragile samples and when vacuum impregnation or infiltration of porous samples is required. Cold mounting is also often preferred, when only a few samples are prepared. We have the two main systems available, Epoxy and Acrylic, each offering different features and benefits. They both consist of two components that cure after being mixed together.

Hot Mounting

Hot mounting requires a mounting press, where the resin is processed at high pressure and temperature. Hot mounting provides very uniform samples in a short time, and depending on the resin used, quite different characteristics can be achieved. Our range of high performance hot mounting resins includes Epoxy, Melamine, Acrylic, Phenolic SEM and Phenolic.

We also have a wide range of embedding accessories. You find molds, silicone lids, Aka-NoStick, protection caps, mixing kits and clips under accessories. These accessories help you obtain the best possible mounting result, which will save you time in the following preparation steps.
