XYT™ ADS Final Polishing Film

XYT ADS Final Silica Oxide Polishing Film Microabrasives slurry coated on high precision polyester film
Film Thickness: 75 µm/3 mil
Mineral: Silica Oxide
Grit Range: 0,02
Standard Forms: Discs

XYT Polishing Film are microabrasive products with micron-graded grains slurry coated on high precision 75 µm/3 mil film, which gives a high-accuracy finishing and excellent flexibility and durability.

It can be used either dry or water emulsion.

Available in Silica Oxide mineral, these microabrasive films are ideal for final polishing of the fibre optic connector’s that ensures a perfect finish and geometry of the ferula, combining it with a high life of the product.

To guarantee a uniform flatness of the film, there is no printing on the backside because the increase in thickness from the layer of ink would strongly influence the finishing consistency.

XYT’s Silicon Dioxide Lapping Film is engineered specifically for the final polishing stage in fiber optic connector manufacturing. This film is formulated with a precision‐coated layer of silicon dioxide particles on a high‐strength polyester backing, which enables it to deliver an ultra-smooth, consistent finish on connector endfaces. The key attributes and benefits of this product include:

Key Features

• Precision and Consistency:
  The silicon dioxide abrasive coating is precisely graded to ensure uniform material removal. This results in highly consistent fiber endface geometries—vital for achieving low insertion loss and high return loss in optical connections.

• Final Polishing Excellence:
  As a final polishing film, it is designed to remove micro-scratches and any residual imperfections left from earlier, coarser polishing stages. This refinement process is essential for attaining the superior surface finish required for connectors such as MPO, MTP, SC, LC, and ST.

• Versatile Formats:
  XYT offers this silicon dioxide lapping film in various sizes and configurations—available as discs, sheets, or rolls, and with or without pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing—to suit different polishing systems and production volumes.

• Optimized for Fiber Height Control:
  The uniform abrasive layer helps maintain precise fiber height across a multi-fiber connector array, which is critical for optimal optical performance and connector reliability.

Applications

• Fiber Optic Connectors:
  Used in the final finishing step, the film is ideal for polishing high-density fiber optic connectors, ensuring a consistent and high-quality finish that minimizes defects such as undercut or inconsistent fiber protrusion.

• High-Performance Networks:
  By delivering a flawless endface, the film contributes to reducing insertion loss and back reflection—key parameters for the performance of high-speed fiber optic networks.

Summary

XYT’s Silicon Dioxide Lapping Film for Fiber Optics stands out as a high-precision, reliable solution for the final polishing of optical connectors. Its advanced formulation—with a controlled silicon dioxide abrasive layer—ensures that the finished connectors meet stringent optical specifications, thereby enhancing overall network performance and yield in fiber optic manufacturing.
