Surface Replication with Microset®
Microset replicas make it possible to inspect internal surfaces that are inaccessible using the Optical Micrometer alone. The high-resolution replicas are residual-free and can be removed from pits, tubes and other uneven surfaces.
Microset compounds are specially designed for the high-resolution replication of surface details. They come as in a convenient and reliable cartridge application systems that allow replicas to be made, in any shape or size, of most solid non-porous surfaces.
Microset compounds have sub-micron resolution and are dimensionally stable for geometric measurement. The elastic replicas can be removed from holes, tubes and moderate re-entrant geometries without damage to the replica surface.
Microset is easy to apply and available in a variety of grades with varying cure times, viscosity and color to support different applications and environments.

MICROSET FLUID REPLICATING COMPOUNDS
Microset 101 Fluid Compounds are high-resolution, two-part silicone polymers designed for replication of metal surfaces. The free-flowing nature of these compounds minimizes the risk of air entrapment in the replica, and makes them easy to apply over large areas. They are suitable for replicating rough surfaces, cavities, tubes, threaded holes etc.
Technical Specifications:
- Resolution: 0.1 microns
- Shelf Life: 24 months
- Cured hardness: 28-30 Shore A
- Shrinkage: Less than 0.1%
- Color: Black or Grey
- Usable temperature range: -10C to +180C
MICROSET THIXOTROPIC REPLICATING COMPOUNDS
Microset 101 Thixotropic Compounds are high-resolution, two-part silicone polymers designed for replication of metal surfaces. The thixotropic nature of these compounds allows them to be applied on vertical and over head surfaces without the compound dripping or flowing away from the area of interest.
Technical Specifications:
- Resolution: 0.1 microns
- Shelf Life: 15 months
- Cured hardness: 28-30 Shore A
- Shrinkage: Less than 0.1%
- Color: Black or Grey
- Usable temperature range: -10C to +180C
