AmberCut™ DWC
Fixed Abrasive Wire Slicing Coolants
Saint-Gobain Surface Conditioning AmberCut™ DWC coolants are synthetic coolants specifically formulated for the cutting of semiconductor materials, including sapphire, silicon, germanium, single-crystal SiC and II-VI crystals, using a fixed abrasive wire. The AmberCut DWC line provides excellent cut rates and imparts outstanding surface finishes with reduced warp and TTV.
AmberCut DWC coolants offer superior dispersion of kerf particles and cooling of the cut zone, with extended use life that allows the slicing of multiple ingots while maintaining performance properties. The unique formula is biodegradable, water rinseable and will not leave films or residues.
Features/Benefits
