Q
Hello, currently have both Aluminum Oxide & Silicon Carbide PSA 4" pads that we use to polish Glass Die facets. Can you advise on advantages of one type over another? We use these for optical polish after grind.
A
For a particular abrasive "grit" size, silicon carbide particles are harder and sharper than aluminum oxide. SC will cut a surface faster, but AO will typically provide a smoother finish.

CleanTouch™

Q
Is there a video I can watch on how to properly clean a connector using this CleanTouch product?
A
We do not have a video. However, the correct procedure is just to lightly touch the ferrule tip to the cleaning port and remove. Do not twist or wipe. No solvents are required. It is suggested to use each port only once. If you would like a sample, please contact sales@krelltech.com.
