CCC Carbon adhesive (DG)
An electrically carbon conductive cement for specimen mounting in all SEM work. After drying of the cement, immediate investigation of conductive specimens is possible. Non-conductive specimens need only to be coated with carbon or metal.
CCC contains only hydrogen, carbon and oxygen with no other residue after drying. Â For that reason, no characteristic spectral peaks are found in CCC. When analyzed with an energy Dispersive spectrometer, there is only the continuum to be found. Â If the entire specimen holder is painted with CCC, the cement will mask the holder and there are no X-rays produced in the holder, which could interfere with the analysis of the specimen itself.
A thinner is available if the cement viscosity is too thick.
