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 the 3M™ Microfinishing Film Roll 372L?

    Our microfinishing film roll is designed to provide consistent results on a variety of surfaces including metals, plastics, and composite materials. You can use it for precision finishing and polishing applications.

  2. Can I use this film roll with water or oil-based lubricants?

    Yes! Our microfinishing film roll works well with both water and oil based lubricants, providing you with maximum flexibility when working on various projects.

  3. Is this product suitable for hand sanding or does it require any special machinery?

    This product requires special machinery such as orbital and random orbital sanders. It's not recommended for hand sanding because its design offers better consistency when used by machine.

  4. How many sheets do I get per case?

    . Each case includes ten sheets which should give you plenty of coverage for your project needs.

  5. Does the plastic core material affect the performance in any way?

    . No, our plastic core won't affect the performance of our Microfinishing Film Rolls in any meaningful way so that you can expect consistent results every time you use them.

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.
