Flat Glass & Crystal Polishing — Speed, Surface Quality, Consistency
Flat glass polishing lives on the edge: high throughput, zero defects. A powder that delivers both is the only lever you have left.
CERITOP for flat glass gives you three things: faster removal rate, finer finish, perfect results.
What Slows You Down?
Wave Formation
Your surface looks polished but reads rough under inspection. The problem isn’t the powder — it’s the interaction between powder, pad, and water.
CERITOP stabilizes this interaction. Result: fewer rework cycles.
Cycle Time Drift
Your polishing machine is dialed in at 8 minutes per piece. After 3 hours, it’s drifting to 11 minutes. You’re chasing it all day.
CERITOP’s granulometry consistency means your process stays locked longer.
Why CERITOP for Flat Glass
CERITOP Grade – Typical values, not a specification. A certification of analysis is provided with each lot.
| Grade | Typical Application | D50 laser | Key strenghts |
|---|---|---|---|
| CERITOP 21 | Glass panel edge polishing (edging, bevelling), windshield scratch repair | 1.5 – 2.0 µm | Finer finish with lower removal variance |
| CERITOP 22 | Phone covers LCD, touchpads, photomasks, mirrors backing, jewelry | 1.2 – 1.4 µm | Versatile grade suitable for various applications |
