DIAMOND
Natural Industrial Diamond Manufacturing
Shannon Abrasives if one of the last natural industrial diamond product manufacturers, controlling the production process from start to finish.
Sourcing boart direct from producers we bring it in-house where we crush, shape sort, sieve size and chemically clean and polish the material.
We have the ability to tailor make products to our customers exact requirements.
Our Range Of Industrial Diamond Solutions
Premium
The best shapes and the lightest colours are selected from original mined diamond to be the starting material for our Premium product. Mechanically and chemically processed to improve the initial shape and remove weak stones, the resulting product exhibits the characteristics of strength and uniformity. The regular shape of P quality guarantees an even wear pattern on the stones and thus ensures uniform penetration and maximum life.
Sizes Available:
P quality is available in sizes 1 – 100spc
Regular
Dark colours and round shapes are selected from original mined diamond as the starting material for our Regular product. Subjected to a mechanical process designed to enhance the shape and remove weak stones, the resulting material is free of seriously flawed particles.
Sizes Available:
R quality is available in sizes 1 – 100spc
Gauge Stones
Blocky angular Boart provides the base for this gauge material. This material is mechanically treated in-house to remove brittle stones and thus increase the overall strength. This product was designed for use as a gauge keeper in a variety of bit types and sizes. In maintaining the gauge size the inherent characteristics of shape and toughness are utilized to greatest advantage.
Sizes Available:
Gauge quality is available in sizes 1 – 100spc
Metal Bond Grit
Our Natural Grit is made by selecting the best qualities and shapes from our in-house crushing of Natural Boart. We supply Grit with sharp irregular cutting edges for those applications that require high-speed cutting. We also offer a Processed Grit that has been mechanically processed to enhance strength and uniformity. We provide a slight rounding (5-15%) to improve the impact strength and a more severe tumbling (15-30%) for those applications that require a strict uniform surface shape. For applications that require superior surface cleanliness we have developed in-house chemical processes that remove all surface contaminations.
Sizes Available:
16/18 US Mesh to 400/500 US Mesh
Resin Bond Grit
Our Natural Grit is made by selecting the best qualities and shapes from our in-house crushing of Natural Boart. We supply Grit with sharp irregular cutting edges for those applications that require high-speed cutting. We also offer a Processed Grit that has been mechanically processed to enhance strength and uniformity. We provide a slight rounding (5-15%) to improve the impact strength and a more severe tumbling (15-30%) for those applications that require a strict uniform surface shape. For applications that require superior surface cleanliness we have developed in-house chemical processes that remove all surface contaminations.
Sizes Available:
16/18 US Mesh to 400/500 US Mesh
Micron
Natural Micron powder is processed into sizes through specialised crushing and milling techniques that produce sharp-edge, fast-cutting particles. All micron diamond sizes are tightly controlled and a P.S.D chart displaying the size distribution accompanies all material.
Sizes Available:
Sizes range from 0 – ¼ microns to 50/70 microns
