KBR Die Set
Athena Instruments introduces the KBr Die Set, a robust and precision-engineered tool designed for the reliable formation of high-quality, uniform solid pellets used in IR-FTIR and XRF analysis. Manufactured from hardened stainless steel (SS316) or high-speed steel (HSS) with optional tungsten carbide mirror-finished punches, these die sets deliver exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and a flawless surface finish for contamination-free sample preparation in pharmaceutical, environmental, industrial, and academic laboratories. Available in multiple standard sizes from 6 mm to 60 mm, these die sets are designed for use with laboratory hydraulic presses up to 30 tons. Each set is rigorously manufactured to deliver consistent, repeatable pellet quality while meeting global compliance ...
