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" diameter and available in plain back (P/B).
