precision finish on extremely hard materials. It combines
micron-graded diamond particles, a resin bonding system
and a highly uniform polyester film.

Other Information:

Imperial® Diamond Lapping Film Type B - Diamond particles are contained in ceramic beads which makes this product more aggressive than the standard product. Grade for grade a Type B product will yield more cut, longer life, and a coarser finish. Recommended for extremely hard materials and larger parts.

Imperial® Diamond Lapping Film Type P - The resin bond is harder that the standard product. Used primarily in roll superfinishing applications and flat lapping operations.

Imperial® Diamond Lapping Film Type H - Provides a higher cut rate and longer life than the standard IDLF. A thicker diamond coating and harder resin prevent "score through" and increase cut rate, making this a long lasting, clean polishing, premium diamond abrasive. Used primarily for fiber optics and
Connector polishing.
