Challenge 550-HT

Challenge 550-HT was developed for use in "high-speed recirculating" and "high-speed once-through" slurry pumping systems. Utilizing the energy of a high speed circulating pump, standard on most lapping machines, it evenly disperses aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, silicon carbide, boron carbide, and garnet abrasive. It also reduces abrasive usage by eliminating "hard-packing" and waste. It is a recirculating lapping additive for use on ceramics in the optic industry.

Instructions

Handling

Challenge 550HT is used at approximately 5% (by volume) with deionized (DI) water or tap water. After Challenge 550HT is mixed with the water in the slurry tank, add the abrasive. The slurry will be ready for use almost immediately. Start grain loading 400 g/liter for a one-meter machine. Flow rate for the slurry should be approximately 300ml/minute for a one-meter machine.

Storage

Product should be stored in a temperature controlled environment. Prolonged exposure to temperatures at or below 32° Fahrenheit (0°C) is discouraged. Prolonged exposure to temperatures at or above 100° Fahrenheit (38°C) is also discouraged. In addition, material should always be sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.

Disposal

Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local regulations.

The slurry will be ready for use almost immediately. Start grain loading 400 g /liter for a one-meter machine. Flow rate for the slurry should be approximately 300 ml / minute for a onemeter machine.
  • Disperse the abrasive with DI water at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes. Add 543HT. Mix for approximately 10 minutes depending upon abrasive surface chemistry. Be careful not to suck air into the slurry when mixing. A small vortex should form at the surface of the slurry. Turn the mixer off, or to a maximum of 50 rpm.

Storage

  • Product should be stored in a temperature controlled environment. Prolonged exposure to temperatures at or below 32 ° Fahrenheit (0 °C) is discouraged. Prolonged exposure to temperatures at or above 100 ° Fahrenheit (38 °C) is also discouraged. In addition, material should always be sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.
