NIKKA SEIKO AQUAWAX is a water-soluble temporary mounting wax developed for high-precision machining operations, including slicing, dicing, grinding, and surface polishing of fragile substrates. Because it dissolves completely in aqueous solutions, AQUAWAX provides a safer, solvent-free cleaning solution that reduces organic chemical usage.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Water Soluble Cleaning: Easily removed with hot water or aqueous detergents, eliminating the need for organic solvents like IPA or acetone.
- Rigid Temporary Holding: Delivers reliable adhesion during slicing and grinding to prevent substrate movement and micro-cracking.
- Environmentally Friendly: VOC-free and safe for operators, ideal for cleanroom environments.
- High Compatibility: Suitable for optical glass, crystals, ceramics, and various wafer materials.
Typical Applications:
- Temporary fixturing of optical glass, lenses, and color filters during slicing and lapping.
- Holding ceramic substrates and semiconductor wafers for surface micro-grinding.
- Fixturing fragile components during mechanical processing.
