Water Based Diamond Paste in 1 and 3 micron
Steve Elliott
>Does anyone know of a source for 1 and 3 micron diamond paste that is water based? I'm trying to find some for use in an industrial process that can't use oil-based paste due to contamination problems.

>you might try Kemet - industrial lapping supplies.
"Type WA Diamond Slurry
Water soluble Liquid Diamond Slurries, recommended where lapping/polishing must be carried out in the absence of oil based materials.
Widely used for lapping electronic and electro-optical components."
You'd be looking for WA-1 and WA-3, but it goes down to 0.1 micron if you wanted.
hope this helps.
