Multi-Purpose Coolant for the Optics Industry
LAPFASTER SO is a fully synthetic, water-soluble coolant for use in grinding, lapping, and shaping operations of optical substrates including glass, sapphire, quartz, and ceramics. LAPFASTER SO exhibits minimal foam and excellent biological resistance, making it ideal for central systems.
LAPFASTER SO offers superb cleaning and wetting characteristics; tool life is increased and surface finish improved. Rapid settling of swarf from coolant aids filtration and extends coolant life. Our customers report increased feed rates while maintaining surface finish and reduced cracking on thin and difficult-to-grind substrates.
