3M 7100064752 Lapping Film Roll 15.0 Micron 4 in X 150 Ft

Product Description

The 3M 7100064752 is a silicon carbide lapping film supplied in roll form, designed for precision surface finishing and polishing applications. The abrasive mineral is coated onto a 3 mil polyester film substrate, providing a consistent, dimensionally stable backing that resists stretching during use. This roll measures 4 inches wide by 150 feet long and carries a 15.0 micron abrasive grade. It is used by technicians and lab professionals who require tight surface finish control in fiber optic connector polishing and metallurgical sample preparation workflows.

This lapping film is suited for environments where repeatable, fine-surface results are required. Fiber optic technicians use it to polish connector end-faces to low-insertion-loss tolerances. Metallurgical lab technicians use it for specimen preparation prior to microscopy or hardness testing. The 15.0 micron grade positions it in the mid-range of the available silicon carbide lapping film lineup, which spans 5.0, 9.0, 15.0, and 30.0 micron grades, allowing it to serve as an intermediate stock-removal or pre-finishing step in a multi-stage polishing sequence.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive mineral on a 3 mil polyester film backing for dimensional stability
• 15.0 micron abrasive grade for mid-range material removal and surface finishing
• Roll format at 4 inches x 150 feet supports high-volume or continuous polishing operations
• Part of a graded series spanning 5.0 to 30.0 micron for multi-stage polishing sequences
• Suitable for both fiber optic connector end-face polishing and metallurgical specimen prep

Compatibility

Designed as a standard silicon carbide lapping film for fiber optic polishing and metallurgical finishing applications where a 4-inch-wide roll format and 15.0 micron abrasive grade are required.

Installation Notes

This product is handled and applied by technicians in fiber optic termination, lab, or precision finishing environments. Secure the film firmly to the polishing fixture or backing plate before use to prevent slippage. Inspect the film surface for contamination or tears prior to each polishing step. Follow the equipment manufacturer and facility safety guidelines for abrasive film handling and disposal.
