3M 262X Lapping Film Sheet, Grade 1 Green, 215x279mm

The 3M 262X Lapping Film Sheet is a precision abrasive film engineered for demanding fibre optic connector polishing and super-finishing applications. Its precisely graded minerals are coated on a high-strength, 3mm polyester backing to deliver a uniform and remarkably consistent finish, essential for high-precision work. The aluminium oxide film is specifically designed for levelling and polishing steps, efficiently refining ferrule connectors in preparation for the final polish. This process ensures optimal light transmission and connector performance.

This lapping film is designed for fast polishing, contributing to a high yield and a clean finish on workpieces. Its consistent performance helps improve throughput in production or repair environments, while also offering good control of fibre height—a critical parameter in fibre optic termination. The robust polyester backing provides the durability needed for repeated use without tearing or deforming.

Ideal for both maintenance and repair tasks, this film is a reliable consumable for technicians and engineers working in telecommunications, data centres, and precision manufacturing. The green colour and Grade 1 abrasive designation provide clear identification for its specific use in the polishing sequence, ensuring the correct material is used for each stage of the connector finishing process.
