How can our Silicon Carbide Foils and Papers support your materialographic process?
Get consistency you can rely on
You need to be able to rely on your equipment, operators and consumables to remove variables from your process and ensure repeatable and reproducible results. Our high quality SiC abrasives and quality control ensure that every Struers SiC Foil and Paper meets the same high quality standards – and gives the same performance every time. Why risk a lower quality consumable?
Maximize your process flexibility
If you typically grind many different types of materials and may not know what specimens you can expect day to day, then our SiC Foils and Papers provide an ideal, all-round solution. Grind many different types of materials in different sizes, mounted or unmounted - all with the same type of surface. With greater process flexibility, you can maximize your efficiency and reduce the number of consumables you keep on stock.
KEY FEATURES
High quality
Our SiC Foils and Papers are made from high quality SiC abrasives, and are controlled and assessed by our in-house Quality Control team
Good material removal
Our manufacturing process aligns all the abrasive particles in the same direction and gives an equal distribution on the backing of our SiC Foils and Papers for good material removal
Limit deformation
The sharp abrasive particles of our SiC Foils and Papers keep deformation to a minimum. When wearing, the SiC abrasives break and release new cutting edges
Full range
Our SiC Foils and Papers are available in a full range of 4 disc sizes and 12 grit sizes, suitable for plane grinding through to your last fine grinding step
Flexible solution
Grind many different types of materials – ductile or brittle, hard or soft – as well as specimens in different sizes, mountings or conditions with the same type of SiC Foil or Paper
Fully compatible
You can use our SiC Foils and Papers with any set-up, with solutions for MD-discs, Wet grinding discs, and Aluminum discs
Re-use foils easily
Because our SiC Foils are not sensitive to water, it is easy to re-use foils that are not worn. Simply place them back on the machine and use until they are worn completely

Magnetic disc
With our MD-Gekko and MD-Fuga adapter discs, both our SiC Foils and Papers can be attached using magnetic fixation to our MD-Disc. This allows you to easily exchange your consumables, ideal for more automated set-ups.
MD-Gekko is the adapter disc for use with our SiC Foils or self-adhesive consumables. Based on a strong PET film, the SiC Foil sticks safely to the MD-Gekko’s glossy surface and can easily be removed and reapplied.
MD Fuga is the adapter disc for SiC Papers, with an adhesive layer to hold the SiC Paper in place. The MD-Fuga limits artifacts such as pencil shapes and edge rounding compared to using SiC paper on a Wet grinding disc.
Aluminum disc
With the Gekko PSA adapter disc, a self-adhesive alternative to the MD-Gekko, our SiC Foils can also be used on an aluminum disc. This allows for easy fixation compared to SiC Papers, and gives you the advantages of the Gekko even without a magnetic disc. You can also attach SiC Papers to an aluminum disc using our double adhesive tape.
Wet grinding disc
Our SiC Papers are quick and easy to apply and remove to a Wet grinding disc.
