3M Diamond Lapping Films are widely used for finishing and
polishing hard to grind materials such as carbide, ceramics,
hardened metals, exotic alloys and composites. They combine
micron-graded diamond particles, a resin bonding system and
a highly uniform polyester film backing for a more consistent,
cleaner and faster alternative to diamond compounds or slurries.

Abrasives
Derived from patented 3M microreplication
technology, Trizact abrasives consist of precisely-
shaped three-dimensional structures distributed
uniformly over the substrate. Unlike conventional
abrasives, which are constructed from randomly-
spaced and irregular-shaped minerals, the uniform
configuration of Trizact abrasives helps deliver
more consistent performance and eliminate belt-to-
belt variation.

Lower costs
Trizact belts can last two to five times longer than
conventional belts – and finish so precisely that
operators can reduce grade sequences, which in
turn can reduce total cost of operations.

Ideal for moderate to heavy stock removal
3M-patented Cubitron Abrasive Grain is one of

It is engineered to cut fast and stand up to the
intense heat and stress generated in heavy grinding
applications. It is an ideal mineral for grinding stainless
steel, titanium and heat sensitive nickel alloys.
