Nano-Polycrystalline Diamond

  • General Features Nano-polycrystalline diamond is a type of polycrystalline diamond, produced by directly binding nano-level diamond grains without using any binders. This material is unique to our company, and as compared to conventional diamond grades containing binders, it exhibits higher strength, excellent wear resistance and fracture resistance. SUMIDIA Binderless is the series of tools with cutting edges made from this high performance nano-polycrystalline diamond.
