Lapping and Polishing Films

3M™ films offer unmatched consistency and control for finishing and polishing

Image of 3M Lapping and Polishing Films 3M lapping and polishing films give users 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 users achieve target finishes in fewer passes, so they can increase production without the need to invest in new machines or add shifts. And they provide a cleaner and faster alternative to diamond slurries or stones in many applications. 3M lapping and polishing films are designed to meet the rigid standards of highly technical electronic or related specialty finishing applications. Precision manufacturing or coating produce consistent, fine finishes.

Features
  • More consistent, predictable, repeatable finishes
  • Remove up to 50% faster than conventional abrasive methods
  • Eliminates traverse and chatter marks – helps reduce rejects and reworks
  • Change grades in less than a minute – saves downtime on multiple grade sequences
  • Achieve finer finishes
  • Electronic and optical components
  • Flat lapping
  • Edge finishing
  • Sillicon wafers
  • Metal fabrication
