High-Quality Lapping Film: Key to Superior Polishing Results
2025-06-28

The Science Behind Premium Lapping Films

Lapping films consist of precisely graded abrasive particles uniformly bonded to flexible polyester or Mylar substrates. Unlike traditional sandpaper, these engineered abrasives provide:

  • Consistent particle distribution (±5% variation)
  • Controlled abrasive exposure angles
  • Thermally stable backing materials
  • Customizable grit sequences (0.1μm to 60μm)

Material Innovations Driving Performance

XYT's R&D center has developed proprietary formulations using:

Selecting the Right Lapping Film

Consider these factors when specifying lapping films:

  1. Material Hardness: Match abrasive type to workpiece
  2. Surface Finish Requirements: Determine necessary grit progression
  3. Production Volume: Choose between standard or heavy-duty films
  4. Lubrication Needs: Dry vs. wet polishing applications

Grit Selection Guide

  • Roughing (60-15μm): Rapid stock removal
  • Semi-Finishing (9-3μm): Scratch pattern refinement
  • Finishing (1-0.1μm): Optical-quality surfaces
