Overview
3M Diamond Lapping Films consist of precisely graded diamond minerals uniformly coated onto a durable polyester backing. Designed for high-precision fiber optic polishing, these films are engineered to provide consistent cutting rates and exceptional surface finishes throughout the life of the product.
These 5-inch lapping discs are ideal for demanding connectorization environments, including data centers, manufacturing facilities, and field termination sites. By providing a stable, uniform abrasive surface, they help reduce overall process time and achieve high manufacturing yields while eliminating the need for messy liquid slurries.

What is the primary material used for the abrasive?
These films use high-grade diamond mineral particles to ensure precise, uniform cutting performance on hard materials like ceramic ferrules.
Can these be used for hand polishing?
While primarily designed for machine-based polishing equipment, they can be used in precision hand-polishing pucks if kept flat.
How many discs are in one pack?
Each package contains 25 individual 5-inch discs.
Are these suitable for wet or dry polishing?
3M Diamond Lapping Films are typically used with minimal water or specialized lubricants for optimal results; please refer to the manufacturer safety and usage guide for your specific connector type.
