Optical Polishing Pad: The Secret to Flawless Surface Finishing
2025-06-25

The Science of Surface Perfection

In high-precision industries where surface quality directly impacts performance, optical polishing pads serve as the final gatekeepers of perfection. These specialized tools work in concert with advanced abrasive materials to achieve surface finishes measured in angstroms.

Material Composition Matters

XYT's optical polishing pads incorporate a proprietary polyurethane matrix infused with precisely graded abrasives:

  • Diamond particles (1-0.1μm) for hard material removal
  • Cerium oxide for chemical-mechanical polishing of glass
  • Colloidal silica for scratch-free finishing
  • Aluminum oxide for cost-effective intermediate polishing

Industry-Specific Applications

Industry Required Surface Finish Recommended Pad/Abrasive Combo
Fiber Optics <5Å RMS Poromeric pad + CeO2
Semiconductor Wafers <2nm Ra Non-woven pad + colloidal SiO2
Aerospace Turbine Blades 0.02μm Ra Composite pad + diamond suspension

Technical Advantages of XYT's Solution

Our optical polishing pads outperform conventional options through:

  • Precision pore structure for consistent abrasive distribution
  • Thermal stability (±0.5μm flatness at 40°C)
  • 60% longer service life than industry average
  • Compatibility with all standard polishing machines

Selecting the Right Polishing System

Consider these factors when specifying optical polishing materials:

  1. Material hardness - Match abrasive hardness to substrate (Knoop scale)
  2. Surface geometry - Conformal pads for complex contours
  3. Production volume - Automated systems vs. manual polishing
  4. Cleanroom requirements - Low-particle generating formulations
