Overview
3M Diamond Lapping Films are precision-engineered abrasives designed for high-performance fiber optic connector polishing. Consisting of tightly graded diamond mineral particles uniformly coated onto a high-strength polyester film backing, these films deliver consistent material removal and a superior surface finish across the entire life of the product.
These lapping films are intended for critical polishing applications where surface finish quality and geometry are essential. By providing uniform abrasion, they help eliminate the need for liquid slurries, reducing environmental waste and streamlining the overall connectorization process for technicians and data center operators.
