Silicon Oxide Abrasive Lapping Film

You’re looking for an ultra-fine finish, and standard methods just aren’t cutting it. That’s where silicon oxide lapping film comes in. Advanced Abrasives gets you the high-grade film you need for that perfect surface.

Get a Surface So Smooth It’s Like a Mirror

Lapping film provides incredible control over surface finishing. The goal is to get a clean, scratch-free surface with a specific, repeatable level of smoothness. This is a game of microns, and you need a tool that delivers absolute precision for your polishing work.

Our silicon oxide lapping film uses a high-strength polyester backing. This sheet is coated with precisely graded silicon oxide mineral particles. Think of it as extremely consistent, high-tech sandpaper. The particles are bonded in a resin, so you get an even cut every time you use it. This process lets you achieve a level of superfinishing that other methods can’t touch.

Why Settle for “Good Enough” in Your Polishing Process?

Inconsistent results are a huge headache. They waste time, material, and money. When you can’t get the same finish twice, your quality control suffers, and parts get rejected. You need a process that works the same way on Monday morning as it does on Friday afternoon.

This is exactly what you get with a top-quality lapping film. Every sheet delivers the same performance because the abrasive particles are so uniformly distributed. You get predictable outcomes for your lapping and polishing. Plus, the film comes with a strong pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing. It stays flat and sticks where you put it, giving you a stable base for your work on any metal or ceramic component.

See the Difference in Your Most Critical Applications

The precision from silicon oxide film makes it essential across many industries. Whenever you need to create a flawless surface on a small or delicate component, this is the tool for the job. You’ll find it used everywhere for final polishing.

Here are just a few places our clients put this film to work:

Fiber Optics: Polishing the ends of fiber optic cables for a clean signal transfer.
Metallographic Samples: Preparing a metal sample for microscopic analysis.
Medical Devices: Creating a super-smooth finish on surgical tools and implants.
Electronics: Lapping magnetic heads and semiconductor materials.
Precision Components: Polishing small engine parts, seals on piping, and glass optics.

A Cleaner, Simpler Lapping Process

If you’ve ever worked with lapping slurries and pastes, you know the mess. The constant mixing, applying, and cleaning up costs valuable time and introduces variables you can’t control. It’s a dirty and inefficient way to achieve a precise finish.

Our film changes the game. All the abrasive is locked onto the polyester sheet. There’s no loose powder and no liquid to manage. You just peel the adhesive backing, stick it to your lapping plate, and get to work. When you’re done, you peel it off and throw it away. The result is a cleaner workspace, faster changeovers between grades, and a lower chance of contamination ruining your work.
