Alumina suspension for polishing

kaalgat

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project and need to order a polishing kit, such as alumina slurry with particle size of 0.3um as well as 0.05um.
I also need the polishing pads - commonly used for polishing the surfaces of composite electrodes.

I was given a few examples of companies that supply these things, and it all ran into dead ends. The only place I found that supplies these things is Buehler, but they don't ever bother responding to queries for sales.

Any ideas? I am running out of time here, and certainly out of patience as well!

Have a look at Sigma Aldrich. They have a dedicated online Irish store with all of this stuff...they have reasonable selection of pads and pastes

I haven't actually been able to find any of this stuff at Sigma...

Maybe you're looking for something different to this but they have:

No the ones you linked there are for crystal polishing, too harsh for what I am looking for. Actually contacted Sigma today, they don't have what I am looking for.
Thanks though.

Buehler got back to me. They have everything I need.
