Cold Mounting

Cold mounting materials are used to encapsulate samples that cannot withstand the heat and pressure of compression mounting, when better flow and penetration of the mounting material is needed or when a large quantity of samples must be encapsulated at once.
Acrylics: Typically chosen for their rapid cure times, acrylics are used when large volume sample throughput is needed.
Epoxies: Typically chosen for their excellent flow and penetration, epoxies are used when better adhesion, less shrinkage and clarity are required.
