AngstromLap - 12" 1um Silicon Carbide

ÅngströmLap Silicon Carbide Lapping Film is a more aggressive abrasive film material, often recommended over Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film for epoxy and glass removal. It is not commonly used for the later steps in the fiber optic polishing process. It produces an excellent surface finish and can help reduce overall polishing process time.

Lapping Film Features:

• Film Color: Natural
• Tape Total Thickness: 90.0 ± 2.0 µm
• Surface Roughness: 0.20 ± 0.06 µm
• Particle Type: Silicon Carbide film
• Film size: 12" disc
• Grit Size: 1 micron
• Base Film Material: Polyethylene terephthalate
• Base Film Thickness: 3 mil (75 µm)
• Quantity: 50 discs
• PSA Backed Film
• Process Parameters Type: AF
• Product Life: Guaranteed up to 5 years from the manufactured date

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is only recommended when it is completely necessary. Once the film is stuck to the polish surface it cannot be removed and reused. This creates a potential and likely problem of debris adhering to the film that cannot be removed. Any debris that comes in contact with the fiber may cause a scratch. PSA will increase the cost of the lapping film.
