3M 598X.5MIC

3M Polishing Film 598X, 0.5 Micron, Cerium Oxide is a precision polishing film with a 0.5 micron cerium oxide abrasive coating on a polyester film backing for controlled fiber-optic connector finishing. The fine abrasive grade is intended for final polishing steps where surface finish is refined after earlier material-removal stages. Its film construction provides a defined abrasive carrier that can be integrated into established connector-polishing sequences. The product is used for MT and other fiber-optic ferrules and for epoxy-removal or final-finish steps where those operations are part of the specified polishing process.

Key features

• Fine cerium oxide finish: The 0.5 micron cerium oxide abrasive is selected for controlled final polishing of fiber-optic ferrules.
• Precision film construction: The abrasive is coated on a polyester film backing to provide a defined polishing media format.
• Fiber-optic process fit: The film is used in MT and other connector-ferrule finishing sequences, including final-finish steps.

Applications

Applications include final polishing of MT and other fiber-optic connector ferrules, along with epoxy-removal and final-finish steps within specified polishing processes.
