Abrasive lapping films

Abrasive lapping films are coated with precision graded abrasives on a polyester film. The raw materials used to make up the abrasives and the adhesives used to secure them onto the backing need to be controlled. The coating process should be carried out in a clean room. Quality assurances must be in place to check the cut rates of each lot. Only then can you hope to have consistent film and thus consistent polishing processes. Make sure your film supplier at least has these safe guards in place before you commit to them.
