Lapping Film for Optical Polishing: Achieve Flawless Results
2025-08-12

The Science Behind Precision Lapping Films

Modern optical polishing relies on engineered abrasive films that combine controlled particle distribution with optimized backing materials. Unlike conventional sandpapers, premium lapping film for optical polishing utilizes mono-dispersed diamond or aluminum oxide particles bonded to polyester films with nanometer-level thickness consistency.
