Description
Atomfair Blue Circular Cold Mounting Mold
Product Overview
Atomfair Blue Circular Cold Mounting Mold is a high-quality, reusable tool designed for cold mounting applications in metallography, material science, and quality control. Crafted from premium silicone rubber, it offers excellent compatibility with all standard cold mounting compounds (epoxy, acrylic, polyester resins), ensuring reliable specimen encapsulation for subsequent grinding, polishing, and microstructural analysis.
Engineered for repeated use, the mold features a smooth internal surface and durable construction, promoting easy demolding without damaging specimens. Ideal for laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and research institutions worldwide, it meets the rigorous demands of international material testing standards.
Key Features
- Durable Silicone Construction: Premium silicone rubber material resists cold mounting resins, ensuring structural stability and long-term reusability.
- Broad Compatibility: Fully compatible with all commercial cold mounting compounds (epoxy, acrylic, polyester resins).
- Reusable Design: Washable and wear-resistant, enabling multiple usage cycles for cost-effective specimen preparation.
- Versatile Size Range: Adjustable diameter (D20–D50 mm) and internal height (18–24 mm) to accommodate various small-to-medium specimen sizes.
- Easy Demolding: Smooth internal cavity minimizes resin adhesion, allowing specimens to be removed intact after curing.
- High Visibility: Blue color enhances visibility during handling and specimen placement.

International Standard Compliance
- Complies with ASTM E3-11 (Standard Guide for Preparation of Metallographic Specimens)
- Meets ISO 1463:2017 (Metallographic specimens—Preparation and mounting)
- RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU compliant (environmentally friendly materials)
Usage & Maintenance Guidelines
- Preparation: Ensure the mold’s internal surface is clean and dry before use to prevent resin adhesion.
- Mounting: Mix cold mounting resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions, pour into the mold, and place the specimen securely at the center.
- Curing: Allow resin to cure fully at room temperature (follow resin manufacturer’s recommended curing time).
- Demolding: Gently flex the silicone mold to release the mounted specimen—avoid sharp tools to prevent mold damage.
- Maintenance: Clean the mold with mild detergent and water after use; dry thoroughly before storage. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry environment to preserve flexibility.
Application Scenarios
Ideal for mounting small to medium-sized circular or irregularly shaped specimens in industries including metallurgy, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and materials research. Suitable for routine quality control, failure analysis, and advanced laboratory testing, it supports precise microstructural examination of metals, alloys, ceramics, and composite materials.
