Our replicating system is accepted for ASTM standard E 1351 &amp;ldquo;Standard Practice for Production and Evaluation of Field Metallographic Replicas.&amp;rdquo;</p><h2>How does Replication system support your Materialographic analysis</h2><h3>High Resolution and Form Stability</h3>\nThe Replication system produces replicas that are dimensionally correct and have an ultrafine detail reproduction as well as a plane back. RepliSet can replicate details with dimensions less than 0.1 micron over the whole replica surface, which can be of any size or shape. RepliSet has no shrinkage and can thus be used for highly accurate metrological measurements.\n<h3>Safe</h3>\nThe compounds used in RepliSet are non-flammable, solvent-free, and cleared for all normal modes of transportation, including air.\n<h3>Easy to use</h3>\nWith the easy-to-operate dispensing gun, perfect replicas can be produced the first time without the need for extensive operator experience. This allows the user to return to the lab with high quality replicas.<img src=\"/files/struers-file-9be2ad4c30aee8330dfa96fd/high-resolution-and-form-stability-974x1400-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>High Resolution and Form Stability</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-16496481c75700bb9b3559cb/safe-974x1400-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Safe</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-79154e12414cbf6107c26146/easy-to-use-replication-system-974x1400-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Easy to use</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-3b465297c28326201248c2e7/fast-curing-1024x759-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Fluid compound with a working life of five minutes and a curing time of 18 minutes at 25° C (77° F)</p><h2>Fast Curing</h2><img src=\"/files/struers-file-d4c888d7b924bb9c1d3d929b/high-tear-strength-and-flexibility-1024x759-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Replicas can easily be removed from moderately reentrant geometry, without damage or distortion.
