Lapping film is used for fine polishing and sharpening of a number o fmaterials, and is often used for polishing optical fibre optic connectors.

3M is a leading innovator of abrasive technologies, constantly evolving to provide ideal solutions to industrial and commercial applications. With 3M you can be assured of a wide selection of quality products.

Use this lapping film from 3M to precisely polish fibre-optic connectors. It provides a smooth and consistent finish to significantly enhance the transmission of light and signal particles in a fibre-optic plug. The film is made of aluminium-oxide minerals, renowned for being strong and hard-wearing. As a result, it reduces the overall time it takes to flat-lap or super-finish a connector for enhanced workplace productivity. This versatile lapping film is also suitable for hard-disk drive lube-buffing and media-head finishing.

• Produces a superior quality surface finish for enhanced reliability
• Durable polyester backing that won't easily break or tear
• Anti-clogging film for a smooth and consistent finish

• Industrial communication networks
• Media centres
• Lighting
• Televisions and entertainment centre cables

A fibre-optic cable is an advanced type of network cable that quickly transmits bandwidth and data via pulses of light through glass or plastic pipes. It consists of anything from a few to hundreds of optical fibers within one outer plastic sheath and performs much faster than traditional electrical cables.
