GLASS PREPARATION POLISHING PADS

GLASS PREPARATION POLISHING PADS

In general, the uses for common glass is too numerous to mention. Many glass polishing requirements these days are still based on the traditional optics industry requirements. Plano and spherical lens, filters, cover plates and others comprise much of the applications needs. LCD’s, micro-lenses, photomasks and other scientific/medical requirements demand the use of Spartan Polishing Pads for defect free surfaces. Edge polishing is also possible with special pads and wheels designed by Spartan’s engineering staff.
