Compression Mounting

Compression mounting is an economical method of encapsulating samples that can withstand the pressure and heat of the mounting process. A variety of mounting powders and preforms are available for this application.

Phenolic Powders and Preforms

Closer View

Black, green and red phenolics are used for routine applications when color-coding for material identification, or as backfill for more expensive mounting powders.

Orange phenolic offers excellent chemical resistance and provides better photographic contrast and edge retention.

Preforms require no measuring, are cleaner than loose powder and are easier to use.
