Flock Pile Lapping Film

The ÅngströmBrush CMP (chemical mechanical polish) system is an innovative system of polishing, that can polish irregular glass surfaces to a mirror finish consistently, time after time. This system uses an abrasive pad with 3-5/mm fibers coated with aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and cerium oxide. These tiny fibers behave like a smaller, less aggressive abrasive, because they are allowed to move away from, or around the work surface. It resists being torn by sharp objects that protrude from some work surfaces. When used in conjunction with our specialty cleaning pads, this system provides controlled fiber protrusion and excellent surface quality. Other polishing systems for creating protrusion on a glass-filled polymer ferrule are available that include the use of slurries with films. ÅngströmBrush™ CMP Chemical Mechanical Polish Abrasive Flock Pile Film is the recommended brand by the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team.

ÅngströmBrush cleaning films can be used in between each polishing step or simply after the final polish step. The tiny fibers on these multi-use films help remove particles from the connector end face and decrease chances of cross contamination, thus increasing finish quality and overall process yield. ÅngströmBrush™ Non-Abrasive Flock Pile Cleaning Film is the recommended brand by the Fiber Optic Center Technical Team.
