              DIAMOND COMPOUND
I-D-L Diamond Compound has been packaged in Jars, and in our CONVENIENT DISPOSABLE DISPENSERS.

I-D-L Diamond Compound has the "Built In" Mirror Finish, for obtaining superior micro-finishes on Precision Wears Parts, High Speed Tools, Rolls, Carbide Dies, and other hard surfaces.

Precise grading of micron diamond powder is the prime requisite in
the formulation of an efficient diamond compound. In our laboratories
we stress accuracy in grading our powder, uniformity of size, and purity.

We prepare our Diamond Compound with a specific "vehicle" to hold
the diamond particles in a permanent and uniform suspension.

I-D-L Diamond Compounds are formulated on the basic principle that
diamond particles, thoroughly wetted with the lubricant, polish faster and
more efficiently than those with so-called dry diamond particles.

I-D-L Diamond Compound spreads immediately; cools and lubricates
the working surfaces; maintains lubricity throughout the operation without
drying or "balling up"; adheres to the workpiece without being thrown off
by centrifugal force; maintains stability throughout a wide temperature
range; absorbs the abraded particles without inhibiting the efficiency
of the particles.

Industrial Diamond Laboratories can furnish Diamond Compound for
Specific Applications.
