Product Number 372L

The 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 372L features micron-graded premium aluminum oxide bonded to a 5 mil polyester film backing to deliver uniform results and meet stringent surface requirements. A friction grip coating provides slip resistance for microfinishing machines where film slippage is an issue, and close tolerance work on cylindrical surfaces, such as automotive camshafts and crankshafts.

  • Micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and provides a consistent, fine finish
  • Durable polyester film backing provides flexibility for consistent finishing on contoured surfaces
  • Polyester film backing can be run wet
  • Available in a range of grades to help operators achieve goal tolerances
  • Color-coded by grade for error proofing

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the purpose of 3M™ Microfinishing Film Roll 372L?

    The purpose of 3M™ Microfinishing Film Roll 372L is for precision finishing, particularly in industries requiring tight tolerance components such as automotive and aerospace engineering.

  2. What are the dimensions of this product?

    The dimensions of this roll are 8 inches by 150 feet with a keyed core, making it easy to install on machines. Its thickness ranges to about five mils or about one-fifth that of an average human hair!

  3. How does a microfinishing film work and why should I use this particular brand from 3M?

    Microfinishing films allow you to achieve very smooth finishes with repeatable results. One has greater control over getting more even cuts versus other methods like sandpaper and traditional abrasives. This works through using abrasive particles embedded into the resin onto plastic film backing, producing long-lasting products taking your business's bottom line in mind! Compared to competitors (in all levels), we output extremely uniform stats which will make each job easily replicable.

  4. Can I trust that this product is safe given its microns range around sixty-micron size?

    Yes! The good news here is that rest assured after extensive safety testing carried out by our team at laboratories following strict procedures best recognized worldwide standards; you have amazing tolerances regarding worker safety as well material finish-to-safety margins.

Predictable, Consistent, Repeatable Performance

3M™ Microfinishing Film Roll 372L achieves an extremely consistent scratch for microfinishing by using micron-graded mineral, measured at tight size tolerances. The resin bond ensures reliable, consistent performance. The abrasive has a durable film backing that helps achieve tight geometry and finish tolerances. This microfinishing roll comes in a broad range of micron grades to achieve reproducible surface characteristics and geometric values that adhere to specification.

3M designed Type 2 film in a range of colors to reduce the risk of operator error. The color coding is a useful visual cue, as is sorting width by core size and side and end of roll printing and marking. In some applications, numerous grades are run simultaneously to achieve finishes that differ across the surface of a single complex part.

Film Backing Provides Uniformly Flat Vehicle for Finer Finish

Film backings provide a superior, uniformly flat surface to hold abrasive particles. Abrasive grains don't compress or become pressed into the backing. The polyester film backing is highly conformable and tear-resistant, flexing to help achieve a consistent finish over contours. It is stronger than comparable paper products, making it ideal for high-production environments.

For Flawless Geometries

Manufacturers of critical automotive components have little room for error in producing parts to specification. Microfinishing removes variations in the surface, minimizes friction, and manipulates metal behavior in other ways. Engine component surfaces and geometry can be improved by using microfinishing, which is essential for finishes of crankshafts and camshafts that rotate on increasingly thinner films of oil.

Recommended Applications

3M™ Microfinishing Films are used in the production of industrial components such as custom flanges and fittings for the oil and gas industry, as well as superfinishing of automotive parts, like crankshafts, camshafts, and transmission parts.
