Key Applications & Uses
- Precision cold mounting of metallographic samples for optical/SEM microscopy, hardness testing, microstructural analysis, and failure investigations in metals, alloys, ceramics, composites, and coatings.
- Encapsulation of heat- and pressure-sensitive specimens (e.g., thin films, electronic components, PCBs, soft polymers, coated surfaces, and delicate biological-material interfaces) where minimal thermal stress and high clarity are required.
- High-quality, transparent mounts for detailed interface examination, inclusion rating, porosity assessment, and fracture surface studies in research and quality control settings.
- Versatile sample preparation in universities, materials science labs, pharma/biotech R&D, industrial QA/QC departments, and failure analysis workflows requiring reliable, artifact-free results during grinding, polishing, and etching.
- Applications benefiting from longer working time and controlled curing, such as multi-sample batches, complex mold geometries, or when vacuum impregnation is combined with careful degassing for void-free embedding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How does GHEXA-MNT-CON-EPO-014 differ from faster-curing epoxies? A: Its slower 8-12 hour cure and very low exotherm (40°C) make it gentler on heat-sensitive samples, while still providing excellent clarity, edge retention, and adhesion—ideal when quality and specimen integrity outweigh speed.
Q: Is this epoxy suitable for vacuum impregnation? A: Yes—its good flowability supports vacuum-assisted mounting, helping to eliminate air bubbles and achieve complete penetration in porous or intricate samples.
Q: What is the recommended mixing procedure? A: Accurately weigh Part A and Part B at the 2:1 ratio. Mix thoroughly but slowly for 10-20 minutes to ensure homogeneity and minimize air incorporation. Allow bubbles to rise or degas under vacuum before pouring.
Q: Can I use this for very delicate or soft samples? A: Absolutely—it is a true cold mounting system with an exceptionally low peak temperature, making it one of the safest choices for specimens prone to thermal or mechanical damage.
Q: How does the 2:1 ratio benefit lab workflows? A: The simple 2:1 mixing ratio reduces errors, speeds up preparation, and is easy to scale for both small R&D batches and larger production runs.
Q: What package sizes are offered? A: Standard kit: 2 kg Part A (Epoxy Resin) + 1 kg Part B (Hardener). Contact G-Hexa for bulk quantities, smaller trial packs, or custom ordering options.
