Kemet Polishing Pads
Flat polished surfaces can only be produced on many softer materials with the use of polishing pads. These are available to suit most flat lapping machines. Kemet offer the widest range of self-adhesive polishing pads, of which there are three general types:
|
Synthetic Silk Pads A range of synthetic silk pads with a durable woven structure that produces flat mirror surfaces on stainless steels, stellite and many other metals. ASFL-AW - for optimum flat mirror polishing of many metals. This pad is available with adhesive resistance to oil or water, to suit the polishing abrasive being used. ASF-AW - this silk pad has a self-adhesive cloth backing which is resistant to water. It produces mirror surfaces, but is more suitable for cosmetic finishes on products, such as jewellery, where flatness is not crucial. |
