Introducing the Buehler SimpliUV™ & UVKwick™ Mounting System
Faster Mounting. Better Protection. Smarter Sample Preparation.
The Buehler SimpliUV™ is an advanced UV-curing mounting system designed to deliver high-quality specimen mounting in a fraction of the time required by conventional epoxy systems. Paired with UVKwick™ resin, it provides a fast, clean, and reliable solution for metallographic sample preparation.
Unlike traditional two-part resins, UVKwick™ is a single-component resin that requires no mixing, eliminating preparation errors, material waste, and lengthy curing times. Combined with the dedicated UVKup™ mould, samples can be fully cured in as little as 1 to 20 minutes, significantly improving laboratory productivity.
Key Benefits
- Ultra-fast curing – Complete mounting in just 1–20 minutes.
- No mixing required – Single-component resin ensures consistent and hassle-free preparation.
- Excellent edge retention – Achieves hardness exceeding 80 Shore D for superior specimen support.
- Low curing temperature – Optimised UV wavelength, power, and curing profiles minimise heat generation, protecting heat-sensitive samples.
- Outstanding penetration – Extremely low viscosity allows the resin to flow into fine cracks, pores, and intricate geometries more effectively than conventional epoxy resins.
- Programmable curing parameters – Adjust wavelength, power, curing time, irradiation area, and multi-layer curing to suit different applications and materials.
- Cleaner and safer workflow – Reduced mess, lower material waste, and improved repeatability.
Designed for Modern Materials Laboratories
Whether you are preparing samples for quality control, failure analysis, research, or electron microscopy, the SimpliUV™ system delivers consistent mounting quality while dramatically reducing turnaround time. Its programmable curing technology provides the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials and complex specimen geometries with confidence.
