XP nanodiamond is also referred to as nanocluster diamond. This diamond is formed by a detonation of carbon-containing explosives with in a detonation chamber. Diamond crystallites of approximately 4–8 nanometers form clusters with an aggregate size up to one micrometer. The high surface area and the micro rough particle surface makes XP nanodiamond particularly suitable for surface coatings and for super fine polishing applications.
