Biodegradable Lapping Vehicle

AmberCut™ 420A is a water soluble, synthetic lapping vehicle specifically formulated for the free abrasive lapping of silicon, glass, ceramic and metal substrates. It imparts improved surface finishes and enhances TTV and Ra values while lowering scratch defect rates. AmberCut 420A has exceptional ability to suspend and disperse aluminum oxide, FO and silicon carbide abrasives at low dynamic viscosities, allowing cut rates and surface finishes to remain consistent for extended periods of time. The resulting slurries are very stable suspensions that are resistant to shear. Additionally, this unique formula is biodegradable, inhibits plate corrosion, rinses easily with water, and will not leave films or residues.

Biodegradable Lapping Vehicle

AmberCut™ 658B is a water soluble, synthetic lapping vehicle specifically formulated for the free abrasive lapping of silicon wafers and other ceramic substrates. It imparts improved surface finishes and enhances TTV and Ra values while its inhibitors prevent corrosion of the lapping plate. AmberCut 658B has exceptional capabilities to suspend and disperse abrasive particles at low dynamic viscosities, allowing cut rates and surface finishes to remain consistent for extended periods of time. Additionally, this unique formula is biodegradable, rinses easily with water, and will not leave films or residues.

Biodegradable Wire Slice Vehicle

AmberCut™ WS-236T is a ready-to-use, synthetic, wire slice vehicle specifically formulated for the free abrasive cutting of sapphire or other crystalline materials. It provides excellent cut rates and imparts outstanding surface finishes with reduced warp and TTV. AmberCut WS-236T offers superior abrasive suspension at loading rates up to 60%. Slurries blended with this vehicle have low dynamic viscosities and smooth flow properties. Additionally, AmberCut WS-236T slurries exhibit extended use life allowing the slicing of multiple ingots while maintaining performance properties. This unique formula is biodegradable, water rinsable and will not leave films or residues.

Biodegradable Wire Slice Vehicle

AmberCut™ WS-P2D is a ready-to-use, synthetic, wire slice vehicle specifically formulated for the free abrasive cutting of III-V semiconductor materials. It provides superior cut rates and imparts good surface finishes with reduced warp and TTV. Slurries blended with AmberCut WS-P2D have low dynamic viscosities, are water rinsable and will not leave films or residues. Additionally, AmberCut WS-P2D is biodegradable, non-hazardous and non-toxic, making it an environmentally sound alternative to oil based vehicles. AmberCut WS-P2D is specifically designed for use with 8-12μ SiC particles, allowing for minimum kerf loss while maintaining excellent slurry flow properties.
