Kinik Pyradia disks utilize a combination of high diamond strength, diamond shaping technology, and individual fixed diamond placement to provide step-out pad conditioner pad performance, high uniformity and consistency, and reduced COO. This design approach features 100% working diamond to pad contact for excellent cut-rate decay resistance, superior process stability, low defectivity, and fixed diamond orientation designed to optimize pad surface asperity development. The robust design make them especially suitable to challenging low/high pH slurry environments (such as SiC permanganate) in which conventioal diamond disks break down.
