BDD Diamond Micron Powder
BDD Diamond Micron Powder is produced from blended BDD mixed grits, featuring a more irregular particle shape and controlled micron-size distribution. This grade is primarily designed for resin bond grinding tools and electroplated tools, delivering stable grinding performance and reliable cutting efficiency. It is suitable for precision processing of glass and ceramic materials and can also be applied in specialized functional uses such as BDD electrodes for water treatment and electronic-related applications.

Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) Electrodes
Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) electrodes achieve semiconductive to quasi-metallic conductivity through controlled boron doping, making them highly effective for demanding electrochemical processes. They provide an exceptionally wide potential window, very low background current, and strong electrochemical stability for reliable, repeatable performance.
BDD electrodes also offer excellent thermal, dimensional, and chemical stability in both aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, with high resistance to chemical and electrochemical corrosion. As a result, they are widely used in electrochemical oxidation for wastewater treatment, as well as in electrochemical analysis, synthesis, bioelectrochemical systems, and other industrial electrochemical applications.
