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

Predictable, Consistent, Repeatable Performance

In order to achieve an extremely consistent scratch for microfinishing, 3M utilizes micron-graded mineral that is measured at very tight size tolerances for the 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 372L. The resin bond ensures reliable and consistent performance. With a durable film backing, this abrasive helps achieve tight geometry and finish tolerances.

This microfinishing roll is available in a wide range of micron grades, allowing for reproducible surface characteristics and geometric values that adhere to specifications. In certain applications, multiple grades are used simultaneously to achieve different finishes across the surface of a single complex part. To minimize the risk of operator error, 3M has designed Type 2 film in various colors that reflect each grade. The color coding serves as a useful visual cue, along with sorting width by core size and side and end of roll printing and marking.

Film Backing Provides Uniformly Flat Vehicle for Finer Finish

Film backings provide a superior and uniformly flat surface to hold abrasive particles, preventing them from compressing or becoming pressed into the backing. The polyester film backing is highly conformable and tear-resistant, allowing it to flex and achieve a consistent finish over contours. It is also stronger than comparable paper products, making it ideal for high-production environments.

For Flawless Geometries

Manufacturers of critical automotive components cannot afford any errors when producing parts to specification. The finishes of crankshafts and camshafts, which rotate on increasingly thinner films of oil, have a significant impact on power generation, life, noise, vibration, friction, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Microfinishing can improve engine component surfaces and geometry by removing variations in the surface, minimizing friction, and manipulating metal behavior in other ways.

Recommended Applications

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