Lapping Fluid – Lubricant for Diamond Polishing Compounds

Lapping fluid is a specialist lubricant designed for use with diamond polishing compounds, diamond paste and diamond suspension during precision finishing operations.

During lapping and polishing, abrasive particles remove small amounts of material from the workpiece surface to improve flatness and surface finish.

The correct lubricant plays an important role in this process by:

This ensures that the diamond abrasive continues cutting efficiently while helping produce a smoother, more consistent finish.

• Improves cutting performance of diamond polishing compounds

• Reduces friction and heat during polishing

• Helps prevent abrasive clogging and lap loading

• Keeps polishing surfaces clean by carrying away swarf

• Improves surface finish quality

• Helps protect tools and components from rust

• Mould tool polishing

• Tool and die finishing

• Diamond paste polishing

• Knife and blade sharpening

• Precision engineering components

• Carbide and hardened steel polishing

• Diamond compound begins to dry during polishing

• You want to improve cutting performance

• The lap begins to load with debris

• You need a smoother polishing action

• You are polishing carbide, hardened steel or ceramics

1. Apply a small amount of lapping fluid to the polishing tool or surface.

2. Apply diamond compound or diamond suspension.

3. Begin polishing using the appropriate tool such as felt bobs or lapping plates.

4. Reapply fluid as required to maintain lubrication and remove debris.

• Use small amounts of diamond compound to avoid overloading the polishing surface

• Apply lapping fluid regularly to maintain lubrication

• Work progressively through finer micron grades when polishing

• Clean the polishing surface between abrasive stages

• Use felt or wooden laps for detailed polishing work

• Diamond Paste

• Diamond Suspension
