Technovit® 5071
The dissolvable
Technovit 5071 - for samples that have to be removed again.
Technovit 5071 is very well suited for the embedding of samples that subsequently have to be removed in order to examine them under a scanning electron microscope, for example, or to prepare them electrolytically. Due to its good mechanical properties, Technovit 5071 is very suitable as an adhesive that may have to be removed again. Technovit 5071 enables the gentle removal of sensitive samples and thus all-round visibility during SEM examination. It provides the easiest application with very good mechanical machinability.
Benefits
- chemically soluble (with acetone, dichloromethane or similar)
- thermally softenable (becomes soft from 150 °C, 30 min holding time)
- simplest application (variable mixing ratio 1:1 to 3:1)
- good adhesive properties
Good to know
Thermally separable: If the samples are heat resistant, Technovit 5071 can be softened by heating the sample block to 150 °C. The sample block can also be heated to 150 °C. Simple geometric shapes can thus be removed again without much effort.
Chemically separable: Dissolution rate for a sample block (approx. 27 g resin) in 100 ml acetone at room temperature ca 11 h, at 50 °C approx. 4 h.
