Technovit 4000 is a fast-curing, cold-polymerizing, 3-component resin for optimum edge protection and marginal sharpness also ideal for embedding samples with porous surfaces, small gaps, blind holes or undercuts.

very low polymerization shrinkage and optimum margin fit

excellent flow behavior very good adhesion to metal surfaces, therefore

optimal edge protection and marginal sharpness

excellent grinding and polishing properties

excellent grinding and polishing properties

Technovit 4006 - The crystal-clear version for sensitive samples. The highly transparent 2-component cold embedding resin allows a lower temperature load due to the longer curing time. Thus target preparations are also possible on more sensitive materials – easy and straightforward!

2-component powder-liquid system

easiest application due to variable mixing ratio

low-gap embedding due to integrated bonding agent and

lower temperature load

good grinding and polishing properties

new initiator system – less irritating!

ideal for routine target preparations with lower temperature load

Technovit 4071 - Uncomplicated and ideal for all routine embeddings.

The highly cross-linked Technovit 4071 provides the best grinding properties combined with easy processing. The semi-transparency allows good orientation and the short curing time makes it indispensable for routine embedding. Series of samples can be produced in a very short time.

easy handling, best for routine work

low viscosity

short curing time (5–7 min.)

very good grindability, mechanically workable

fast routine embedding resin for the entire range of materials

Technovit 5000 – enables conductive embeddings, perfect for SEM examinations and is also a good basis for the electrolytic preparation of metallographic samples.

This 2-component, copper-based cold embedding resin enables conductive embeddings that are ideal for SEM examinations. Technovit 5000 is also a good basis for the electrolytic preparation of metallographic samples.

Technovit 5071 - for samples that have to be removed again.

Technovit 5071 is very well suited for the embedding of samples that subsequently have to be removed in order to examine them under a scanning electron microscope, for example, or to prepare them electrolytically. Due to its good mechanical properties, Technovit 5071 is very suitable as an adhesive that may have to be removed again. Technovit 5071 enables the gentle removal of sensitive samples and thus all-round visibility during SEM examination. It provides the easiest application with very good mechanical machinability.

chemically soluble (with acetone, dichloromethane or similar)

thermally softenable (becomes soft from 150 °C, 30 min holding time)

simplest application (variable mixing ratio 1:1 to 3:1)

good adhesive properties

Technovit 7100 – cuttable embedding resin, ideal for microtomy.

Whenever samples need to be embedded for cutting, Technovit 7100 is THE material of choice. Originally developed for histology, Technovit 7100 has also proven its worth in industry for many years due to its universal application possibilities.

embedding and production of sections and thin sections down to 1 μm

embedding of complex-shaped, fine plastic parts

ensures optimal infiltration of porous materials

no temperature load

“cradle”-insert: the pointed shape distributes the cutting forces evenly and thus protects the blade and sample

Technovit EPOX – for transparent embedding without a temperature load.

Technovit EPOX is an epoxy resin system consisting of a resin component Technovit Epox Resin and optionally with a fast hardener: Technovit Epox Hardener fast, or a slow hardener: Technovit Epox Hardener regular.

The choice of hardener can influence the curing time, pot life and above all the temperature load. The pot life of approx. 1 hour favours, for example, the infiltration of porous materials – especially under a vacuum.

Application under vacuum possible

high transparency, good adhesion to the workpieces

UV colour stable

variable curing times, can be influenced individually

gap-free
