[Shop Now](https://www.metallography.biz/grinding-polishing.php) ### Coarse Polishing Coarse polishing is the first polishing step after grinding and is typically done using diamond abrasive. #### UltraPrep® Diamond Lapping Films ![UltraPrep Lapping Films](https://www.buehler.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/02/0011495_ultra-prep8-1-mic-plain.png) UltraPrep diamond lapping films are designed for applications where surface flatness and minimal deformation is critical. These lapping films are available in a wide range of sizes from 0.1µm to 30µm. Applications include microelectronic devices, wafers, ceramics, optical fibers, petrographic, and more. #### FibrMet® Abrasive Discs ![FibrMet Discs Specialty Grinding and Polishing](https://www.buehler.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/10/69-3100_fibrmet-discs-4-in-psa-12-mic.jpg) FibrMet abrasive discs are coated with an aluminum oxide abrasive. These discs can be used wet or dry and are ideal for fine grindinging and polishing applications, such as optical fiber and microelectronics where surface flatness is essential. These abrasive discs are available in a wide range of sizes from 0.3µm to 12µm. #### Abrasive® Powders ![Abrasive Powders](https://www.buehler.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/02/0013738_aluminum-oxide-powder-3m-5lb.png) Abrasive powders are for fine grinding of cast iron and tin materials. Mixing is required with distilled water to achieve desired consistency. ##### Ordering | UltraPrep Diamond Lapping Films (Qty 5) | | | | --- | --- | --- | | UltraPrep Diamond Lapping Films are designed for various material applications including microelectronic devices, wafers, ceramics, optical fibers, petrographic, and other metallographic materials.
