Lapping and Polishing Films

3M's lapping and polishing films give unmatched consistency and control for finishing and polishing hard-to-grind materials such as carbide, ceramics, hardened metals, exotic alloys, and composites. They are engineered to help achieve target finishes in fewer passes, so there can be an increase in production without the need to invest in new machines or add shifts. they also provide a cleaner and faster alternative to diamond slurries or stones in many applications.

In the electronics industry, and wherever delicate processing of specialty materials is required, generating a high-quality finish on flat or cylindrical surfaces using traditional methods such as honing stones, bonded wheels, or slurries can be messy and time-consuming. With advanced film-backed abrasive technology from 3M, consistent, predictable finish tolerances can be achieved faster and easier to help increase productivity and reduce costs. 3M's lapping and polishing films are designed to meet the rigid standards of highly technical electronic or related specialty finishing applications. Precision manufacturing or coating produces consistent, fine finishes.
