Mounting Accessories

Our accessories- mounting cups, clips, mould release agents and protection caps  help you obtain the best possible mounting result with the lowest effort. For example, by keeping your sample in the correct position while curing, making it easy to get the mount released from the mould or protecting the sample after preparation.

Our moulds or mounting cups can be used for all types of cold mounting resins. The built-in bevel results in mounts without sharp edges and minimizes the risk of ripping the cloth or grinding paper when preparing your samples. The moulds are available in sizes from 25 – 50 mm dia.

As our cold mounting epoxy resins have a very low shrinkage, you should use Aka-NoStick Liquid to coat the inside of your mould. This ensures that you more easily can get your mount out of the mould when cured. For hot mounting, Aka-NoStick Powder should be applied on the upper and lower ram of the mounting press to prevent the resin from sticking.

Protection Caps are used to cover the samples after the preparation. This will prevent the sample surface from getting scratched or damaged in other ways.
