3M 7000028116 Lapping Film Sheet 60.0 Micron 8.5x11 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000028116 is a 60.0 micron aluminum oxide lapping film sheet used for precision surface finishing and material removal. The abrasive mineral is coated onto a 3 mil polyester film substrate using a durable resin bonding system. This construction delivers consistent cut and finish on demanding finishing operations. At 8.5 inches by 11 inches, the sheet format fits standard finishing fixtures and manual lapping setups. Technicians working in fiber optic connector finishing and roll superfinishing applications will find this grade suited to controlled, repeatable stock removal at the coarser end of the micron spectrum.

This lapping film is used in applications requiring precise surface control rather than aggressive bulk material removal. Primary application areas include fiber optic ferrule and connector end-face finishing, precision roll superfinishing, and other optical or mechanical surface preparation tasks. The 60.0 micron grade is typically used as an early-stage cut step before progressing through finer micron grades. It is appropriate for both manual lapping operations and fixture-mounted finishing setups in production and field service environments.

Key Features

• 60.0 micron aluminum oxide abrasive for controlled, consistent material removal
• Abrasive coated on 3 mil polyester film for dimensional stability and tear resistance
• Durable resin bond system maintains abrasive integrity under wet or dry finishing conditions
• 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheet size fits standard lapping fixtures and manual use
• Suited for fiber optic end-face finishing and precision roll superfinishing

Compatibility

Designed for use in precision lapping and surface finishing applications including fiber optic connector finishing and roll superfinishing processes where controlled micron-grade abrasive film is required.

Installation Notes

This product is installed or applied by technicians performing precision finishing operations in shop, production, or field service settings. Secure the sheet flat against the lapping plate or fixture to prevent slippage during use. Ensure the workpiece surface is clean and free of contamination before beginning the finishing sequence. Progress through finer micron grades in sequence to achieve the target surface finish.
