The independent partner for polishing performance
Cerium and lanthanum oxide polishing compounds – the CERITOP & LUCERIS ranges – for flat glass, glass mould polishing, ophthalmic lenses, precision optics and electronics workshops.
Three Pillars of Rare Earth Excellence
Diagnosis Before Supply
We don’t sell compounds. We solve process problems. Enter by application, not by grade. Flat glass haze? Mould finish drift? Optical subsurface damage? Each demands a different answer.
Our three-pillar framework:
✓ Diagnosis of your specific challenge
✓ Grade recommendation with parameters
✓ Measurable results from trial to production
Traceability, Not Dependency
Rare earth markets move. We document every move. Price volatility, quality consistency, technical & safety compliance — all three are non-negotiable.
You get:
- Price benchmarking against published indices
- Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
- Lot-by-lot certificates of analysis (COA)
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Built for Manufacturing, Sized for You
Major suppliers have minimum order volumes. We don’t. Small batch, mid-volume, or ramp-up — CERITOP & LUCERIS scale with your business, not the other way around.
From 1-kg trial to 10-ton FCL annual commitment:
✓ No volume penalties
✓ No exclusivity clauses
✓ Direct access to founder expertise
Our manifesto
Why we refuse to be a commodity supplier
Six convictions on polishing powder as a process variable, cost per good part, transparency on origin — and what we are not.
Five Application Segments — Choose Your Path
Flat Glass & Crystal
Speed, precision and surface finish. Three things you thought you couldn’t have together.
Glass Mould Polishing
Micro-roughness consistency. Cavity uniformity. Material compatibility. Precision in mass production.
Precision Optics
Nanometer-level finish. Repeatable across three optical materials.
Ophthalmic Lens
Cerium oxide polishing powders for mineral glass sun and prescription lenses. CERITOP and LUCERIS: low defectivity without giving up throughput.
Electronics Glass Polishing
Cerium oxide polishing powders and ready-to-use slurry for cover glass, display glass and glass substrates. CERITOP and LUCERIS, with technical support.
