QUESTION:
How does FOC’s lapping film supplier produce with protection to the environment?
ANSWER:
To make this high-tech lapping film, first hyper-pure compounds, such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon dioxide or diamond, are filtered and sorted by size. These materials are mixed into a paste that gets applied to a Mylar film. For Fiber Optic Center and our partner, this is where better engineering can help the environment.
