Poretex 3LN polishing pads are engineered for final-stage polishing of semiconductor, compound semiconductor, sapphire, silicon carbide, and other advanced materials where surface finish tolerances are tightest. Manufactured to consistent, tested specifications, Poretex 3LN pads are built for fabricators who can’t afford variability between production runs.

Applications

  • Semiconductor wafer final polishing
  • Compound semiconductor and sapphire finishing
  • Silicon carbide surface preparation
  • Ceramic and other advanced-material polishing

DESCRIPTION:
All pads are available with our own specially developed
PSA, magnetic or loop backing to be used with various
hook attachments. We currently have 2 types of PSA that
cover 2 specific markets. Our standard for the glass
industry is one that resists temperatures up to 120°F, peels
easily from the plate and can actually be reapplied. Our
second type of PSA is a 3M product that is temperature
resistant up to 160°F, resistant of pH changes from 5 to 10,
but may leave some adhesive on the plate (depending on
how it is run and removed).
