3M EMSD A/O Flock Film 5 inch .5um PSA (50pk)

Overview

3M EMSD Aluminum Oxide (A/O) Flock Film is a precision-engineered polishing media designed for the fiber optic termination process. This 5-inch disc is formulated for optimal performance on both thermoplastic and thermoset fiber optic connectors, ensuring consistent, high-quality results during the final polishing stages.

Constructed with precisely graded abrasive particles bonded to a durable 2-mil backing, this film is designed to provide controllable protrusion and consistent removal rates. The inclusion of a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) backing simplifies application to polishing plates, helping technicians maintain efficient workflows by eliminating the need for messy liquid slurries and extensive cleanup.
