™ Imperial™ Polishing Film - 861X
3M's new 861X eliminates slurries as the final polishing step on ultra PC connectors. This fixed abrasive product incorporates a unique resin system that anchors precisely graded silicon dioxide mineral onto a flocked backing. As a small amount of deionized water is introduced, the mineral is released from its bond to form an effective polishing medium on the surface of the disc. 3M 861X is a forgiving, easy-to-use product. You'll see less operator variability and narrower standard deviations in performance without the mess of slurries. When properly used, 3M 861X will achieve a 53-60 dB return loss with 40-80 nanometers of undercut.
