Binder & Blending Agents
The appropriate binder or blending agent will keep the pressed pellet from flaking or disintegrating. Though no single agent may resolve all types of samples, three popular types are available.
Ideal application for:
- Cement, Ores, Fertilizers, Soil, Rock and Alumina
Quantity for X-Ray Mix, Spectro Blend, and Boric Acid in g/lbs: 454/1.
X-Ray Mix (454g)
Item: 040-060-300
Unit of measure: ea
Description:
General purpose grinding agent. Balanced for abrasiveness and lubricity to aid in grinding dissimilar particles of moderate hardness for relatively short times.
Chemical Composition: 48.7% C, 42.6% O, 8.1% H, 0.6% B
SpectroBlend (454g)
Item: 040-060-310
Unit of measure: ea
Description:
A 44µ powder well suited for blending and as a diluent for high concentrations. Well balanced with abrasive and lubricious constituents for grinding most sample materials emphasizing difficult-to-process samples requiring long grinding cycles in metallic comminution vials or dishes. Resistant to degradation by thermal and irradiation exposure. Samples have “plasticized” surfaces.
Chemical Composition: 81.0% C, 2.9% O, 13.5% H, 2.6% N
SpectroBlend 1/2gm Tablet (500)
Item: 040-060-312
Unit of measure: ea
Description:
SpectroBlend 1/2gm Tablet (500). Well balanced with abrasive and lubricious constituents for grinding most sample materials emphasizing difficult-to-process samples requiring long grinding cycles in metallic comminution vials or dishes. Resistant to degradation by thermal and irradiation exposure. Samples have “plasticized” surfaces.
Chemical Composition: 81.0% C, 2.9% O, 13.5% H, 2.6% N
X-Ray Mix, ¼ g Tablets (500)
Item: 040-060-314
Unit of measure: ea
Description:
X-Ray Mix, ¼ g Tablets (500).
General purpose grinding agent. Balanced for abrasiveness and lubricity to aid in grinding dissimilar particles of moderate hardness for relatively short times.
Chemical Composition: 48.7% C, 42.6% O, 8.1% H, 0.6% B
Boric Acid (454g)
Item: 040-060-320
Unit of measure: ea
Description:
Abrasive substance for processing samples with strong re-welding tendencies. Sample pellets are fair to moderately bonded together. Frequently used in conjunction with other additives to impart increased abrasiveness to the grinding process.
Chemical Composition: 77.6% O, 4.9% H, 17.5% B
