Polishing & Superabrasive Powders

Polishing and superabrasive powder inquiries. Match the abrasive identity, particle profile and workpiece before choosing a grade.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Diamond abrasives

Separate monocrystalline, polycrystalline and nanodiamond requirements. Begin with the workpiece and target finish, then particle distribution and oversized-particle limits.

Oxide polishing powders

Choose ceria, alumina or silica against the workpiece and polishing process. Compare agglomeration, dispersion state and the conditions used to assess removal and finish.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Abrasive system

Distinguish monocrystalline/polycrystalline diamond, nanodiamond, CBN and oxide polishing powders. Keep the chemistry and structure explicit.

Particle & surface

Specify the size range and distribution method, morphology, agglomeration and surface treatment needed by your tool or slurry.

Workpiece & finish

Describe the substrate, removal/finish target and process. A nominal particle size does not determine scratch performance by itself.

Before you choose

Is cubic boron nitride the same product as hexagonal BN?

No. c-BN/CBN is a different crystal structure and an abrasive material identity. The BN formula must be accompanied by the phase and intended abrasive grade.

What does this directory cover?

Finished abrasives, grinding tools and prepared polishing compounds need separate supply briefs; they are not presented as dry powder here.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Abrasive identity and crystal/particle type
  • Particle distribution and oversized-particle limits
  • Surface treatment and dispersion medium
  • Workpiece, process and finish objective

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
