Frequently Asked Questions
Does this polishing film have an adhesive backing?
No, this product features a plain back (No PSA) design for use with mechanical or vacuum-clamped polishing machines.
Is this compatible with all polishing machines?
This is a 5-inch disc designed for machines supporting that specific diameter. Please check your polisher's documentation for compatibility.
Why is the grit size important?
The 6µm grit size is specifically selected for its abrasive property to remove material efficiently during the intermediate stages of the connector polishing process.
How should these discs be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the abrasive material.
Are these discs reusable?
These are intended for single-use applications to prevent cross-contamination and ensure a consistent finish on fiber end-faces.
