Final Finishing Film
True Blue™ Film
True Blue™ film is produced with
a proprietary process combining
a unique mixture of abrasive
particle sizes and shapes that
are bonded to a film backing
which enable the film to produce finer surfaces than are commonly
found in similarly graded micron films. True Blue™ film is typically used
after the 1micron diamond lapping film step and provides a flat, nearly
scratch-free surface.
Final Green™ Film
Final Green™ film is produced
using a unique process, which
is different from any other type
of abrasive film. This process
produces a film that is capable
of removing even the finest
scratches at the final stage of polishing. Final Green™ film is typically
used after True Blue™ film and produces an ideal sample surface for
analysis.
All films are 8” or 12” diameter, and available with either plain back
(P/B) or pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA)
