ÅngströmLap® Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film Disc - 8 inch 1µm (micron), Hole

AO1T80H3N100

AngstromLap 1um Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film, 8" Disc with center hole and 3mil Backing, package of 100 discs.
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 1µm lapping film is typically used as for polishing MM connectors.

The 8" film disc is the standard size for the Ultra Tec Ultrapol 1200, some Buelher polishing machine, as well as others.

Lapping Film Features:
  • Film Color: Light Pink
  • Tape Total Thickness: 90.0 ± 2.0 μm
  • Surface Roughness: 0.60 ± 0.30 μm
  • Particle Type: Aluminum Oxide film
  • Grit Size: 1 micron (1µm)
  • Base Film Material: Polyethylene terephthalate
  • Base Film Thickness: 3 mil (75 µm)
  • Quantity: 100 discs
  • Process Parameters Type: BT
  • Non-PSA Backed Film
  • Product Life: Guaranteed up to 5 years from the manufactured date
A center hole is not recommended unless the polishing machine requires one. A center hole will increase the cost of the lapping film.

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!
