Kemet's Precision Finishing Technology: Delivering Unmatched Efficiency and Environmental Benefits for Metal Lapping and Polishing

Kemet International Ltd, a leading company in precision lapping, polishing, and cleaning, has recently introduced two innovations that are set to revolutionise the metal lapping and polishing industry. These innovations not only make life easier for companies needing to lap and polish components but also contribute to a better environment.

Traditionally, companies needed two different plates for lapping and polishing metal components, resulting in either having two machines or changing the plate between processes, which is time-consuming and expensive. Kemet Copper SP2, the new composite plate, solves this problem by combining both lapping and polishing plates into one. The composite plate offers fast stock removal and an excellent surface finish and can easily be grooved to process a large variety of components. It is available in a range of sizes from 15” (380mm) to 84” (2,140mm) in diameter, which makes it suitable for various industrial applications.

The benefits of Kemet Copper SP2 are numerous. Firstly, it removes the need for two separate machines, which saves space, reduces operational costs and minimizes the maintenance required. Secondly, it eliminates the need to change plates between the lapping and polishing process, which reduces downtime, leading to increased productivity. Thirdly, the composite plate is capable of processing a wide range of metals, which makes it a versatile solution for various industries. Finally, the excellent surface finish of Kemet Copper SP2 ensures that the end products meet the required specifications, improving the quality of the final product.

The second innovation from Kemet International Ltd is a new, improved formula for its best-selling Diamond Slurry - Type K. The new formula, developed by Kemet’s in-house chemists, is a low viscosity, oil/water emulsion that is suitable for most applications. The new diamond abrasive slurry offers lower viscosity, which gives better stock removal, longer suspension of the diamond abrasive, a more even spread over the lapping plate, and easier cleaning of components after lapping. Additionally, the new formula is environmentally friendly, with a Volatile Organic Content (VOC) of ZERO grams/litre, which means it is not classified as an atmospheric pollutant.

The benefits of the new formula for Diamond Slurry - Type K are numerous. Firstly, the lower viscosity provides better stock removal, which reduces the time required to lap the metal components, leading to increased productivity. Secondly, the longer suspension of the diamond abrasive ensures that the abrasive remains effective throughout the lapping process, which reduces the need to change the slurry frequently, leading to reduced operational costs. Thirdly, the more even spread over the lapping plate ensures that the lapping process is consistent, leading to the production of high-quality components. Fourthly, the easier cleaning of components after lapping reduces the time required to prepare the components for the next process. Finally, the environmentally friendly nature of the new formula for Diamond Slurry - Type K ensures that companies can reduce their environmental impact while still producing high-quality components.

Kemet International Ltd's new innovations, the composite plate for lapping and polishing and the new formula for Diamond Slurry - Type K, are set to revolutionize the metal lapping and polishing industry. These innovations provide companies with a cost-effective, space-saving, and environmentally friendly solution to lap and polish metal components. The benefits of these innovations, such as increased productivity, reduced operational costs, improved quality of components, and reduced environmental impact, make them an attractive solution for various industries. Kemet International Ltd's commitment to innovation and sustainability ensures that they remain a leader in Precision Finishing Technology.
