UNICER 1000, CERIUM OXIDE POLISHING POWDER, GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

The latest addition to UNIVERSAL PHOTONICS’ extensive line of premium cerium oxide polishing powders, UNICER 1000, is engineered to service a wide range of applications where high quality surface finish and increased productivity are the ultimate goal.

Its formula, the unique morphology of chemical reaction and mechanical abrasion, assures increased surface planarity, less residual defects, and an overall reduced surface roughness. It further meets the demanding polishing process with a rapid removal rate; making it a clear choice for a wide selection of soft and hard glass substrates in both precision optics and ophthalmic applications.

UNICER 1000 is quickly becoming a leader among competing cerium oxide polishes and not only for consistently providing better finishes in less time and a characteristic higher removal rate. UNICER 1000’s high efficiency also gives agency to a wide range of polishing parameters including speed, pressure, and pad materials. This flexibility carries through the most critical and demanding polishing applications. For example, the ability to achieve a pristine, flat surface makes UNICER 1000 perfect for coating applications. Use it for cleaning glass surfaces before coating or in coated or mirror glass production. UNICER 1000 can be diluted with DI or RO water to a desired concentration. Since concentration is dependent on your operation, its best to consult with an UPI Applications Engineer. Their recommendations for optimal processing conditions may include complementing consumable sets like SC-955, a next-generation, polyurethane pad, targeting glass optics for removal rate and flatness, or an application-based, environmentally friendly, alkaline cleaner, UniClean CE, that removes contaminants and residues of cerium oxide polishing slurries from a variety of substrates with minimal rinsing. Whichever part of your process you would like to review, know that our experts stand ready to service your applications needs.
