Hot Mounting Consumables
Two different groups of resins are available for hot mounting: thermoplastic and thermosetting. Thermosetting resins cure at elevated temperatures, whereas thermoplastic resins soften at elevated temperatures and solidify again during cooling. Struers offers a complete range of mounting resins. PolyFast:- PolyFast is a thermosetting, bakelite resin with carbon filler, very suitable for fast mounting and for examination in a SEM.

MultiFast:- MultiFast is a thermosetting, bakelite resin with wood filler, very suitable for routine examination of soft to medium hard materials.
