Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsion Stropping Compound Description & Features
Huayida Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsion Compounds are meticulously formulated for professionals who demand absolute precision, speed, and reliability throughout the knife and tool sharpening process. Engineered to deliver aggressive yet controlled material removal, these emulsions produce a clean, refined edge with a mirror-like polish—ideal for both intermediate refinement and final-stage stropping.
Unlike conventional diamond sprays, Huayida’s Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsion Stropping Compounds feature a viscous, high-concentration suspension of premium-grade polycrystalline diamond particles, offering significantly more abrasive density per application. This translates into faster performance and longer-lasting abrasive action.
What sets polycrystalline diamond apart is its fractured, multi-faceted microstructure. Unlike monocrystalline diamonds, which have smoother surfaces and fewer cutting points, polycrystalline particles expose a higher number of sharp, angular edges, enabling more effective micro-abrasion on the strop. Furthermore, their friable nature allows them to continuously break down into fresh, ultra-sharp fragments during use, extending their cutting potential and improving surface finish at every pass.
Recommended Strop Pairings:
Premium leather strops (cowhide or kangaroo)
Balsa wood strops for ultra-flat backing
Nano-Cloth strops, which maximize abrasive contact and consistency
Huayida Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsions are the preferred solution for professionals sharpening kitchen knives, outdoor blades, and woodworking tools such as chisels and plane irons—where edge integrity, cutting clarity, and finishing brilliance are paramount.

Shake well before use to ensure even diamond dispersion.
Apply a small amount (1–2 pumps) directly onto your strop surface.
Spread evenly across the strop using a clean finger, cotton swab, or plastic card.
Allow to dry completely before stropping (usually a few minutes).
Strop as usual, maintaining light, consistent pressure for optimal results.
Recommended for use on: Leather, Kangaroo Leather, Balsa Wood, and Nano-Cloth strops.
Key Features
Polycrystalline Diamond Structure Features multi-faceted, friable particles that break into fresh, sharp edges during use—delivering faster cutting and a finer finish than monocrystalline alternatives.
High-Concentration Formula Viscous emulsion with a high diamond particle density ensures long-lasting, consistent abrasive action with every application.
Superior Surface Finish Produces refined, mirror-polished edges ideal for kitchen knives, outdoor blades, and fine woodworking tools (chisels, plane irons).
Application
Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsion Stropping Compounds are precision-engineered suspensions of ultra-fine diamond particles in a water-based or oil-based carrier, specially formulated for high-performance polishing and lapping applications. Huayida’s Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsion Stropping Compound Emulsions deliver consistent dispersion, superior thermal stability, and exceptional edge retention, making them ideal for demanding industrial processes.

Advantages of Polycrystalline Diamond Emulsion Stropping Compound
Superior mirror finish — achieves very low surface roughness (mirror-grade Ra) for ultra-smooth, low-friction edges.
Self-refreshing cutting action — polycrystalline particles micro-fracture during use, continually exposing new cutting facets for sustained sharpening performance.
Fast, efficient material removal — high unit cutting efficiency shortens stropping time while delivering fine, controlled results.
Longer usable life — steadier wear profile means more strokes and longer service per bottle than many alternative abrasives.
Full grit progression available — manufactured across a wide micron range (coarse → ultra-fine) so one product family covers repair through final polish.
Broad substrate compatibility — effective on HSS, stainless steels, carbide and other hard alloys used in knives, razors, and precision tools.
Low-waste, easy application — thin, even coats on leather or nano-cloth are sufficient; reduces product waste and mess.
Improved edge definition & burr removal — excels at removing micro-burrs and edge roll for crisper, longer-lasting geometry.
QC-friendly & measurable — particle size, removal rate and sedimentation can be specified and tested for industrial quality control.
Cost-effective lifecycle — higher upfront cost is offset by greater longevity and reduced process time, lowering total cost of ownership.
Versatile for hand and machine stropping — performs reliably in both manual finishing and automated polishing setups.
