    Grinding, Lapping & Polishing Applications

    Micron diamond and CBN powders custom processed by Engis can be used in a wide variety of grinding, lapping and polishing applications. Our superior micronizing capability gives you the benefit of cleaner, more consistent performance results.  Choose from custom graded powder ranging in size from 50nm to 100µm.

    MA – Metal Bond Diamond Powders RA - Resin Bond Diamond Powders PC – Polycrystalline Diamond Powders CBN Powders CBN Powders
    Monocrystalline micron and nanometer size diamond that exhibits 3-D blocky particle shape. You will benefit from its aggressive stock removal and superior surface finish properties. Monocrystalline diamond that exhibits typical sharp friable resin bond particles. Micronized from selected industrial grade powders. Polycrystalline blocky structure with a rough surface texture that microfractures during use. Hyprez PC gives you high removal rates while producing excellent surface finishes. Amber micron CBN powder. Ideally suited for grinding, lapping and fine finishing of hard ferrous materials. Black micron CBN powder. Ideally suited for grinding, lapping and fine finishing of hard ferrous materials.

    Manufacturing Grinding Wheels for Precision Machining Applications

    Engis precision diamond is designed for the manufacture of precision grinding wheels and tools.  Our complete range of high purity powders, which are designed specifically for your application needs, have consistent shape and tight particle size distribution that precisely control the high-end distribution.  This ensures that your customers are repeatedly satisfied with the performance of the precision grinding wheels they purchase from you, whether they be used for grinding, slicing, dicing or lapping & polishing operations.  These micron diamond powders have passed through a micronizing process designed to tightly control large particles within the distribution to minimize chipping during use.  Choose from custom graded powder ranging in size from 50nm to 100µm.

    Nanometer Size Diamond Powders/Solutions/ Slurries

    The unique expertise developed in-house for the characterization of diamond powders with respect to particle size, particle shape, surface cleanliness, and purity (extrinsic & intrinsic impurities) enables Engis to manufacture consistently high-quality nanometer-size diamond powders whose properties are precisely defined and controlled for consistent performance.

    We offer nanometer-size diamond powders in custom sizes  and distributions upon customers' specific requirements.  

    We specialize in  various applications:

    • Lapping & polishing: HDD, Optics, Electronics
    • Medical: drug delivery and imaging systems
    • Thermal management
    • Coatings
