Lubricants for Hard Disk Drive
Our series of waterless lubricants for hard disk drive applications are specifically formulated to extend plate life while providing great surface finish.
Waterless Lapping Lubricant
AmberLube™ 85R9 is a ready-to-use, waterless diamond lapping lubricant. It is specifically formulated for the fixed abrasive lapping of computer disk read/write heads. The AmberLube 85R9 formula provides the unique ability to controle pole tip, alumina and RTS (reader to shield) recession or protusion. It also prevents ESD by quickly and effectively dissipating static charge buildup. AmberLube 85R9 imparts excellent surface finishes, improved removal rates and enhanced plate life. It does not contain water and is safe for use on GMR and advanced head designs. AmberLube 85R9 is easily cleaned with conventional polar solvents or water based cleaners.
Waterless Lapping Lubricant
AmberLube™ CK is a lapping lubricant specifically formulated as a post lapping or crown lap lubricant for computer disk read-write heads. This unique formula is designed to provide maximum removal rate while imparting good surface finishes. AmberLube CK is capable of reducing pole-tip and aluminum oxide recession while eliminating corrosion of exotic alloys. AmberLube CK does not contain water and is safe for use on GMR and advanced design heads. It is easily cleaned with conventional polar solvents or water based cleaning solutions.
