PACE Technologies ATL-3012-MAG ATLANTIS 12" Polishing Pad with Magnetic Rubber - 5 pcs.

Selecting the right polishing pad is essential for achieving precise, repeatable surface finishes. Pads vary in nap height, backing type, and material composition, which impacts abrasive support, flatness, and edge retention.

Final polishing: Use high-napped cloths with fine abrasives (alumina or colloidal silica) to eliminate minor defects and achieve mirror finishes.

Choosing the correct pad minimizes artifacts such as edge rounding, relief, and smear, ensuring accurate microstructural analysis.

Backing option: magnetic backing. Magnetic-backed pads simplify pad transitions and are ideal for high-throughput applications.

The magnetic polishing system simplifies pad transitions by using magnetic-backed pads and disks with magnetic baseplates. This eliminates adhesive cleanup and enables quick changes between polishing stages.

Magnetic-backed pads offer the same pad selection as PSA-backed pads, with the added benefit of instant removal and repositioning. The system maintains consistent flatness and contact uniformity, making it ideal for high-throughput applications.

ATLANTIS is a woven low-nap final polishing pad with foam backing for enhanced compliance. Ideal for 1-6 µm diamond. Great for critical surface flatness needs.
