6 in Silicon Dioxide Polishing Film Discs, 0.2μm, 10-Pack for Precision Optics & Faceting

The 6 in Silicon Dioxide Polishing Film Discs (0.2μm, 10-Pack) are engineered for sub-micron surface refinement, delivering flawless mirror finishes on gemstone facets, optical glass, and fiber optic connectors.

Key Features

• Sub-Micron SiO2 Abrasive (0.2μm): Ultra-fine silica particles create rapid scratch-free finishes on hard silicate stones and optical glass components.
• Standard 6-Inch Diameter: Direct fit for standard 6" faceting machines, flat lap units, and precision metallurgical platens.
• High-Strength Polyester Film Backing: 3 mil heavy-duty Mylar base resists tearing, stretching, and edge deformation under wet lapidary polishing.
• 10-Piece Multi-Pack: Provides ample supply for continuous precision optical polishing, lapidary production, and fiber optic termination.

Recommended Applications

• Final facet polishing on gemstones (quartz, beryl, topaz, spinel, and tourmaline).
• Precision optical glass prisms, flat lenses, and laser window finishing.
• Fiber optic connector end polishing (UPC/APC).
• Metallographic and semiconductor wafer sectioning and sample preparation.

Operating Guidelines

• Place onto a clean, flat master lap with a thin layer of water or light adhesive film.
• Operate wet with clean water or colloidal silica fluid to avoid heat buildup.
• Run at low speeds (150–400 RPM) using light hand pressure.
