Paul Batson, managing director of Master Abrasives explains: “We identified diamond polishing products such as diamond slurries and micron diamond powders, as an area which needed be added to our product range to make our product offering even stronger and more comprehensive.
“At the same time, we were contacted by Microdiamant, a leader in this market, who were looking for a UK partner. The Microdiamant products are manufactured to highest quality standards in Switzerland – the company being the only European diamond micronizer with fully integrated production. The new partnership between Master and Microdiamant is a positive step forward for both companies.”
“We are delighted to start this cooperation with Master Abrasives,” commented Nicola Vella, head of sales and business development at Microdiamant, adding: “Together we can make use of synergies and ensure that customers in the UK and Ireland benefit from this combined expertise.”
Over the past 60+ years, Microdiamant has been continuously optimising and re-inventing micron diamond with customer needs as a constant focus. The business is a privately held company that distributes its products through a network of specialised agents, with subsidiaries in approximately 20 countries across Europe, the US and Asia.
These types of diamond products are not something Master Abrasives has focused on in the past, so the Microdiamant product range now widens its portfolio. Microdiamant manufactures diamond products in all common diamond types: natural, monocrystalline, polycrystalline and nanocluster, and in diamond sizes ranging from 18nm up to 100µm.
The products added to Master Abrasives’ super abrasives range fall into three main categories: micron diamond powders for the superfinishing of hard materials with demanding specifications for surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Micron Diamond Powders are offered in a comprehensive product range in micron and sub-micron size range, and in synthetic and natural diamond.
Secondly, Microdiamant offers diamond slurries for various industries for the lapping and polishing of hard materials. The company provides both engineered and ready-to-use diamond variants. Engineered slurries offer the flexibility to adapt to the exact product needs to achieve optimal performance, process stability and cost-effectiveness.
The ready-to-use diamond slurries combine high levels of precision graded micron diamond sizes with chemical formulations designed to offer excellent removal rates and surface quality. They also enable customers to achieve high performance but help to minimise total process cost.
Microdiamant also offers guaranteed agglomerate free liquid diamond, diamond compounds and grinding pads, composite polishing pads, polishing pads and metallography products as other sections of its extensive product portfolio.
