Product Description
  • Five types of grit count as one set
  • Used for polishing (grinding) fiber optic connectors
  • Grit material: Diamond/Silica
LBTEK Fiber Polishing (Lapping) Film consists of fine abrasive particles bonded to a substrate. By moving the fiber connector across the film, excess material on the ceramic ferrule can be removed to achieve a polished surface. Depending on the grit size, the fiber polishing (lapping) film is available in five grades. For continuous polishing, each stage requires a film with progressively finer grit. Note: The five grades are supplied as a complete set.

LBTEK Fiber Optic Polishing (Lapping) Films come in 5 types, all with a standard size of 152 mm × 152 mm. For fiber optic polishing, a five-step polishing process is recommended: the first four steps use diamond lapping films with particle sizes of 30 µm, 6 µm, 3 µm, and 1 µm respectively, while the fifth step employs a silica film with a particle size of 0.02 µm. Distilled water should be applied to the film, and an appropriate polishing pad should be selected to perform figure-8 motion polishing. The silica film is manufactured by coating high-precision silica particles, featuring a highly smooth surface with minimal scratches, and it does not contaminate optical fibers during the polishing process.
