Buehler Polishing Cloths
Polishing cloths are used along with an abrasive to remove layers of surface deformation and expose the material structure for analysis. A variety of different cloth types are available depending on the application.
- Buehler's cloths are thoroughly tested and developed with MetaDi Diamond to provide a complete solution that delivers reliable results for each sample processed.
- The type of cloth used depends heavily on the material being processed and the requirements for the final analysis. With a variety of fabrics, weaves, and naps, there is a cloth to fit every application.
