Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film Product Matrix
Aluminum oxide lapping film is recommended in multimode fiber applications, glass fiber polishing, and SMA connector polishing when diamond lapping film is not required. Certain aluminum oxide films can also be used for final polishing. The 0.5 µm and 0.3 µm polishing films can achieve return losses of -50 dB or better; however, because they cut glass faster than ceramic, fiber undercut may occur.
Fiber Optic Center offers both ÅngströmLap® and 3M™ aluminum oxide films, listed below for easy comparison based on technical specifications to help you choose the right film for your polishing equipment and application.
