ÅngströmLap® Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film Sheet - 3 x 6 inch 12µm (micron)

AO12F363N100

AngstromLap 12um Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film, 3x6" Sheet with 3mil Backing, package of 100 sheets.
ÅngströmLap Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film is recommended when diamond lapping film is not needed, like in many fiber optic multimode applications. Some aluminum oxides can even be used as the final polish. The 0.5µm and 0.3µm will produce return losses of -50 dB or better, but because they cut the glass at a much quicker rate than the ceramic, undercut may occur. Aluminum oxide 12µm lapping film is typically used as for polishing MM connectors.

The 3" x 6" film sheet is typically used for hand polishing.

Updates

Please note Product Change Notification:

Effective June 2025, the packaging of the ÅngströmLap® polishing film will be changed to a perforated packaging type from the previous zip packaging.

This is for all ÅngströmLap® products with a size of 5 inches or less.

For ÅngströmLap® products with a size of 6 inches or more, the packaging may be changed depending on if the back side is processed or not.

We are excited for these changes to:
  • Improve efficiency of mass production by changing packaging
  • Provide environmentally friendly packaging process
  • Prevent packaging errors
*There will be a period after June while FOC works through inventory materials packed in the previous style.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the FOC sales staff!
