Abrasive Microfinishing Films
Our abrasive micro-finishing films are particularly effective for precision superfinishing and are available as sheets, various diameter discs, rolls, belts, ribbons, or custom formats/sizes per your application. Choose from diamond, aluminum oxide, or silicon carbide abrasive coatings with particle sizes typically ranging from 6 microns down to the submicron level.
Typical applications include fine grinding/polishing of high-value items such as optical fibers and semiconductor device cross sections, as well as the micro-finishing of precision mechanical parts.
Abrasive Microfinishing Films With Polyester Film Backing
When it comes to your finishing needs, our abrasive microfinishing films are the solution you’ve been searching for. Engineered with precision and consistency in mind, these films deliver unparalleled performance in a variety of applications.
The backbone of our microfinishing films is the robust polyester film backing. This material offers the ideal balance of durability and flexibility, enabling consistent finishes even on complex surfaces. The incompressibility of the polyester film backing prevents abrasive grains from being pressed into the backing. This maintains a uniformly flat surface for holding abrasive particles, ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of our products.
Achieving Reproducible Surface Characteristics With Our Microfinishing Films
Looking to achieve reproducible surface characteristics in your finishing projects? Have you considered our abrasive microfinishing films? Designed with your needs in mind, these films from Advanced Abrasives promise to be the perfect solution for precision, consistency, and high-quality finishes.
Our abrasive microfinishing films are embedded with a micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive that ensures rapid cutting and provides a uniform, refined finish. They help maintain tight geometry and finish tolerances, consistently enabling you to achieve the exact finish you desire, even in the most intricate projects. This innovative composition guarantees precise surface treatment, leading to a highly effective superfinishing process and reproducible results.
Looking for variety? Our abrasive microfinishing films are also available in various formats, such as sheets, discs of different diameters, and rolls. This wide range caters to all project scopes and complexities, providing the exact solution needed for each unique requirement.

Comparing Abrasive Microfinishing Films to Other Solutions
Navigating the world of surface finishing solutions can be complex, with so many options available. Among these, Advanced Abrasives’ abrasive microfinishing films have carved a niche for themselves, offering superior precision and consistency. We’ll compare abrasive microfinishing films with other popular solutions, providing you with the information needed to invest in the right products for your superfinishing needs.
Abrasive Microfinishing Films vs. Traditional Sandpaper
Traditional sandpaper has been a long-standing option for surface finishing. However, it often falls short when it comes to longevity and consistency. In contrast, our abrasive microfinishing films, embedded with micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive, ensure rapid cutting and provide a uniform, fine finish. The polyester film backing adds to the durability and allows for consistent results over time.
Abrasive Microfinishing Films vs. Non-Woven Abrasives
Non-woven abrasives are known for their flexibility and conformability to complex surfaces. However, they may not always deliver the same level of precision and consistency as our abrasive microfinishing films. The latter’s robust polyester film backing ensures that abrasive grains are uniformly distributed, which leads to precise and consistent finishes.
Abrasive Microfinishing Films vs. Coated Abrasives
Coated abrasives are popular for heavy stock removal and rough finishing. However, when it comes to precision superfinishing and maintaining tight geometry and finish tolerances, our abrasive microfinishing films outperform coated abrasives.
The High-Performance Applications of Our Abrasive Microfinishing Films
Our abrasive microfinishing films have earned their reputation through versatility and reliability across demanding industrial applications. Their ability to deliver consistent scratch patterns makes them invaluable for critical finishing operations. When you need aggressive stock removal or ultra-fine finishing, these films provide uniformly flat vehicle surfaces and precision-engineered components.
Microfinishing of Crankshafts & Camshafts
Crankshaft journals and camshaft lobes face intense pressure and wear during operation. Our microfinishing films with durable film backing create the precise bearing surfaces needed for optimal performance and longevity. The uniform particle distribution eliminates the risk of inconsistent material removal that could lead to out-of-round conditions or improper surface profiles.
Superfinishing of Automotive Powertrain Parts
Powertrain components require extremely tight tolerances and specific surface characteristics to function properly. Gear faces, bearing races, and shaft surfaces all benefit from our friction grip coating and controlled abrasive action. The films produce the exact surface roughness needed while maintaining critical geometric forms. This level of control helps reduce noise, minimize wear, and extend component life in demanding automotive applications.
Superfinishing of Hydraulic Piston Rods
Hydraulic systems depend on precise surface finishes to maintain proper sealing and prevent fluid bypass. Piston rods must have consistent cylindricity and the right surface texture to work effectively with seals. You can get microfinishing films that create the ideal surface topography through reliable, repeatable processes.
Superfinishing & Chrome Polishing of Rotogravure Cylinders
The printing industry demands flawless cylinder surfaces for consistent ink transfer and image quality. Chrome-plated rotogravure cylinders require ultra-fine finishing to achieve the right surface characteristics. Our films deliver the necessary consistency while being gentle enough to preserve the chrome plating. The controlled cutting action creates the optimal surface finish needed for sharp, clear printing results while maximizing cylinder life.
