Product Description
Methyl-methacrylate resin 665 is a cold setting resin designed for sample recovery.
The 665 resin has a unique ability to dissolve in acetone, allowing the functionality to recover metallographic specimens after mounting. After metallographic processing of costly materials such as noble metals, the 665 resin offers an economic and technical solution to recover the samples from the mounting resin.
The kit is comprised of 2 components: 1kg powder and 500ml catalyst liquid.

Technical Data
Recovering the sample
There are two ways to recover the specimens from the mount:
1. Using Acetone
The sample can be placed into a closed receptacle containing acetone at ambient temperature (do not heat the acetone). Make sure that the sample is totally submerged in the liquid (approximately 150ml of acetone is recommended to dissolve a 30mm mount). Depending on the size of the mount, it can take a few hours to three days for the resin to dissolve.
2. Using heat
This method can only be used if the specimens are resistant to temperatures above 150°C. The embedded sample can be placed in an oven preheated to 150°C. In a few hours depending on the size of the mount, the resin softens allowing the sample to be ejected mechanically.
