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.
Choosing the correct pad minimizes artifacts such as edge rounding, relief, and smear, ensuring accurate microstructural analysis.
Backing option: Pads with PSA (adhesive).
FELTPAD is a thick final polishing pad made for large samples or glass. Ideal for use with colloidal silica or alumina slurries where surface uniformity is key.
