The company says the benefits of the new diamond lapping gel include longer cycle-time per application - approximately twice the length of some compounds - which can reduce overall lapping time by up to 30 – 40%. In addition, less pressure is required using the Engis gel, reducing scratching and operator fatigue, resulting in reduced scrappage. Engis says whereas some conventional lapping compounds often incorporate rogue abrasive particles resulting in surface scratches (compromising the zero-leak goal) Engis lapping gels contain specially controlled diamond particles micronized in Engis laboratories. t | 01491.411117 e | sales@engis.uk.com w | www.engis.com New lapping gel available in a range of operator sizes, e e coils ar nal armatur Robust exter versatile connecting systems. esulting in advanced and highly r ecision; evolution with quality and pr Atam combines technological Atam.
