Description
Wenol metal polish has been favored by many microscopists for cleaning and polishing parts for electron microscopes and used to be a mainstay in EM labs. Now available again for the best cleaning results for SEM, TEM, FIB and vacuum coating systems. Ideal for cleaning Wehnelt cylinders, anodes, aperture holders, sample holders, vacuum coating shielding parts and internal vacuum chamber parts.
Wenol is petroleum based with fine graded aluminium oxide particles as polishing compound. The carrier fluid assists in removing hydrocarbons and is easily removed. It does not contain silicone. The consistency is paste like, which makes it easy to use on swabs, applicator sticks, cotton balls or polishing cloths. Other applications include cleaning of tarnished metal surfaces, final polish for fine mechanical parts and polishing vacuum feedthrough rods. Originally developed for polishing metals such as stainless steel, it works just as good on copper, brass, bronze, chrome or nickel plated metals etc.
Can be used on soft metals such as aluminium when proper care is exercised. Wenol is similar to metal polishing compounds such as POL or Unipol which came later to the market as replacements. For final cleaning we recommend a rinse in isopropanol/acetone mixture. Available in a 100mml tube.
