Liquid Diamond
Our range of Kemet Liquid Diamond products are
available as oil soluble, water soluble or as emulsions.
The chemical composition of the carrier fluids is
carefully controlled to ensure that they are compatible
both with the Kemet Lapping Plate and the components
being lapped.
• Precision graded diamond particles in a fluid.
• Optimum viscosity and chemical composition of each
Liquid Diamond Product gives fast stock removal with
the ability to produce superfine surface finishes.
• Suitable for dispensing with the Kemet Electronic
Dispensing System thus eliminating wastage and
reducing lapping costs.
• Specially formulated Liquid Diamond Products enable
parts to be easily cleaned.
• Alcohol based slurry also available.
Kemet offer a wide range of standard and special Diamond
Products formulated and manufactured in our quality
controlled laboratories. Each is a special blend of diamond
powder with a specific grading and concentration in a
chemical carrier to give the optimum:
• Stock removal and surface finish.
• Ease of cleaning.
• Temperature resistance.
• Lubricity to prevent drying out.
With ever changing technologies, new
Kemet Diamond Products are
continually being developed to meet
specific requirements. These products
may well incorporate different types
of diamond to suit the application
such as synthetic or natural,
monocrystalline or polycrystalline
powder, suspended in a wide
range of chemical carriers.
Our laboratories can also help to
develop formulations specific to
your application.
Diamond Products
• Diamond Grading
The exceptionally close grading standards
developed by Kemet exceed many

Microscopic and computer analysis of the
diamond powder ensures that it is exactly
the correct grading and shape to maximise
cutting performance.
• Consistency of Performance

quality assurance standards - our guarantee
that the quality will be consistent.
• User Friendly
Manufactured from the highest purity
chemicals - safe to use and friendly to

Polycrystalline:
Structure is ‘raspberry-like’, i.e. each
particle is in fact a number of very
small particles of microcrystallites
bonded together. Stock removal and
surface finish is better due to the many
cutting points of the polycrystalline crystal.
Monocrystalline:
This diamond has tough resilient
crystal structure that gives sustained
cutting power. It is the type of diamond
used most commonly in Kemet
Diamond Compounds and Slurries.
