VacuPrep™
Epoxy Impregnation System
Cold Mounting
Durable and Reliable Systems for Epoxy Encapsulation
The VacuPrep™ removes trapped air from uncured epoxy, filling open pores and cavities in samples to provide maximum bonding and support. This maintains sample integrity during abrasive preparation, reducing the chance of cracking or delamination. The turntable version allows for easy, accurate fill of multiple mounting cups under vacuum.
