Abstract
An embedment casting composition and a process of embedding a specimen in an acrylic polymer matrix is described. The composition comprises an acrylic copolymer and a suitable solvent. The acrylic copolymer is derived from 80-99% w/w methyl methacrylate, 0.1-10% w/w of a C-Colefinically unsaturated acid co-monomer selected from carboxylic, phophonic, sulphonic or phosphinic acids and 0-10% w/w other suitable monomers and/or additives. A process of embedding a specimen in an acrylic polymer matrix, a cast of an embedded metal specimen, the use of an embedment composition for coating a specimen prior to an embedment coating process and use of an embedment composition as the copolymer resin component of an embedment slurry are also described.
