3M™ 298X Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film Disc - 5 inch 1µm (micron), PSA

AO1-298X-503P

3M 1um 298X Flock Pile Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film, 5" Disc with PSA Backing. Pricing per Disc.
3M™ 298X Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film is recommended when diamond film is not needed, like in many fiber optic multimode applications. Some aluminum oxides can even be used as the final polish. The 0.5um and 0.3um will produce return losses of -50 dB or better, but because they cut the glass at a much quicker rate than the ceramic, undercut may occur. The 5" disc with PSA backing is used for applications in MT style, multi-fiber optic connector optic connector polishing and wafer edge cleaning.
