The Most Widely Used Lapping Film in the World
Achieving consistent results that meet the demanding technical specifications for single mode systems requires
the optimization of many factors throughout the termination and testing process.
These include:
• suitable single mode fiber
• suitable epoxy
• proper mixing, application & curing of epoxy
• connector quality & tolerances
• pressure & time of polishing at each step
• lapping film quality & consistency
• lapping film grit sizes & materials
• polishing solutions
• adapter quality & tolerances
• calibration & quality of test instruments
and reference cables
• test methods & conditions
• overall cleanliness
• specific cleaning procedures
• Diamond Film
• Final Film
• Aluminum Oxide Film
• Silicon Carbide Film
• Abrasive, Coated Flock Pile Film
• Cleaning Film (Non-abrasive Flock Pile Film)
• Seikoh Giken Film
FOC can supply detailed polishing instructions for most commercially available fiber optic polishing machines.

Fiber Optic Center offers lapping film in the following areas;
The films shown here are typical stock items. However, if you do not find the right size/material configuration, including center
holes or PSA, to fit your application, we may already have it or we can have it manufactured for you. Please contact Fiber Optic
Center with any request.
Special Note on PSA - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is only recommended when it is completely necessary. Once the film is stuck to the
polish surface, it cannot be removed and reused. The adhesive also creates a potential and likely problem of debris
adhering to the film that cannot be removed. Any debris that comes in contact with the fiber may cause a scratch.
PSA will also increase the cost of the lapping film.
Fiber Optic Center, the global supplier of ÅngströmLap, is an industry leader in developing
high performance, cost effective polishing processes for some of the largest assembly
houses in the world. We have or can produce an ÅngströmLap single mode or
multimode process which is tailor-made for any machine, connector style and ferrule
material on the market today, including multi-fiber MTs and MT-RJs. If you are having trouble
with your process, our in-house process engineers can offer assistance at any time over the
phone or can make on-site visits when necessary.
One of the most important decisions a cable assembly production, or process manager will
make, is which lapping film to use. Without a consistent lapping film, production costs can
not be controlled. Instead of quickly and efficiently fulfilling work orders, costly reworks will
eat up both time and resources. Lapping film that only lasts a few cycles before it needs to
be thrown away can also lead to a much higher per termination cost than a film that lasts up
to 10, 20 or 30 cycles. Our SEQUOIA Diamond films are designed to last well over 10 cycles.
