NIKKA SEIKO SHIFTWAX is a high-performance solid temporary mounting wax engineered specifically for precision machining processes, including slicing, dicing, grinding, and polishing of fragile substrates. It is widely applied in semiconductor wafer fabrication, optical lens processing, and advanced ceramics manufacturing.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Superior Holding Force: Provides exceptional adhesion and rigid support to prevent workpiece shift, vibration, or micro-cracking during mechanical stress.
- Controlled Melting Points: Formulated in distinct thermal grades to match specific processing and bonding temperature requirements.
- Clean & Easy Removal: Dissolves rapidly in standard organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, or specialized cleaners) without leaving organic residue.
- High Chemical Resistance: Resistant to water-based coolants and slicing fluids used in wire saw and dicing equipment.
Typical Applications:
- Temporary bonding of silicon, GaAs, and InP wafers during thinning and polishing.
- Mounting optical glass, quartz substrates, and piezoelectric crystals for multi-blade dicing.
- Holding precision ceramic components during surface micro-grinding.
