Engis (UK) Ltd (
www.engis.com), which is based in Henley-on-Thames, has announced the launch of its Hyprez SC diamond compound — designed to suit mould and die polishing applications.
The compound resists vaporising at higher temperatures, making it suitable for use on hot surfaces such as large injection moulds that require reworking in situ.
The compound is also said to provide the optimum level of lubricity without it spinning off a felt or wooden polishing bob. In addition, it uses a new, sharper type of diamond — and special particle size distribution — to provide an enhanced cutting action.
According to Engis, these advances result in a more-flexible product that provides faster cutting and better finishes.
