Microclear – DS Series
Aluminum Oxide Polishing Compound
Microclear DS series This was the first product developed in the Microclear family. This polishing alumina is 100% made in the USA from the highest quality feed stocks. The DS line is calcined to a very tight surface area specification. This material is currently available in two different surface area specifications, High and Standard. We are in the process of developing a Low surface area product as well. These different BETs give a different end result in the polishing process. After calcining, the DS material is wet milled creating a very unique particle size distribution. This distribution combined with our Intelligent Self Sharpening Technology creates one of the best abrasives on the market today. The DS series is available in different particle size distributions that allow for the desired cut rate and surface finish: *DS.5 *DS1 *DS2 *DS6 *DS8 *DS12. Sizes can be custom developed on request. Microclear DS is sold in a 38% slurry of water and Alumina. The DS is packaged in 50lb pails or 600lb drums.
