ÅngströmLap^® Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film Disc - 4 inch 3µm (micron), PSA

ÅngströmLap Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film is recommended when diamond lapping film is not needed, like in many fiber optic multimode applications. Some aluminum oxides can even be used as the final polish. The 0.5µm and 0.3µm 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. Aluminum Oxide 3µm lapping film is typically used as for polishing MM connectors.

The 4" disc is the standard size for the Seikoh Giken SFP-100D, Ultra Tec UT-8808 (old), Minipol-1, Siecor SP500, Domaille FS500 and all Krell Machines.

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.
