How surfacing materials are used in today?s technology

Posted by samrojseo on August 8th, 2014

Many common consumers cannot be bothered, let alone be even curious, to know about the various amount of technology and materials that is involved in the development of their favorite products that they use regular basis. It’s all because of technological advancements that one such class of materials, which many might not know of, have become even more valuable with their increased level of usage.

Surfacing materials are an integral part in many of the end products we use today. Some of the examples are everyday technology products like tablet PCs, smart phones, and photonic glass; the entire range of products demand the use of surfacing materials like polishing powders. Basically, any application that need surface finishing as a key mechanical property in its development, such as display technology (CRT, LCD TFT, STN, OLED, color filters, etc.), mirrors, beveling, and crystals, is highly dependent on Quality Surfacing Materials.

Surfacing materials, such as diamond polishing abrasives, have a wide range of uses but of particular interest is in the application of sapphire polishing due its growing use in consumer technology products. Sapphire is not only a beautiful gem used for fine jewelry but it also is second only to diamonds in terms of mineral hardness and its high resistance to scratching and abrasion and its good electrical insulation properties also make it very valuable for more technical applications.

Some of the more common applications of sapphires in everyday products include bearings for contact points in fine watches, shatter resistant windows to even the glass created for the display screens of the Apple iPhone. All in all, the need for sapphire polishing is critical to ensure optimal performance for these particular products and technologies.
