The 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 372L features micron-graded premium aluminum oxide bonded to a 5 mil polyester film backing to deliver uniform results and meet stringent surface requirements. A friction grip coating provides slip resistance for microfinishing machines where film slippage is an issue, and close tolerance work on cylindrical surfaces, such as automotive camshafts and crankshafts.
- Micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and provides a consistent, fine finish
- Durable polyester film backing provides flexibility for consistent finishing on contoured surfaces
- Polyester film backing can be run wet
- Available in a range of grades to help operators achieve goal tolerances
- Color-coded by grade for error proofing

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M Microfinishing Film Roll made of?
The 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 372L is made of a high-strength polyester film backing with a precision-coated mineral abrasive.
-
What size does this product come in?
This particular roll measures .787 inches x 656 feet and has a keyed core. It comes in a case that contains seven rolls.
-
What is the grit level for this product?
The grit level for the 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 372L is 20 microns, making it ideal for fine finishing and polishing applications.
-
Can I use this microfinishing film on any material or surface?
Yes! This versatile microfinishing film can be used on almost any material including metal, ceramics, plastics, glass and painted surfaces.
-
How long can I expect each roll to last when using it regularly?
Each roll will vary in life depending on how often it's used and what type of application it's being utilized for. However you can generally expect consistent results from start to finish during each use due to its anti-loading properties which help prevent clogging.
3M™ Microfinishing Film Roll 372L achieves an extremely consistent scratch for microfinishing by using micron-graded mineral, measured at tight size tolerances. The resin bond ensures reliable, consistent performance. The abrasive has a durable film backing that helps achieve tight geometry and finish tolerances. This microfinishing roll comes in a broad range of micron grades to achieve reproducible surface characteristics and geometric values that adhere to specification.
3M designed Type 2 film in a range of colors to reduce the risk of operator error. The color coding is a useful visual cue, as is sorting width by core size and side and end of roll printing and marking. In some applications, numerous grades are run simultaneously to achieve finishes that differ across the surface of a single complex part.
Film Backing Provides Uniformly Flat Vehicle for Finer FinishFilm backings provide a superior, uniformly flat surface to hold abrasive particles. Abrasive grains don't compress or become pressed into the backing. The polyester film backing is highly conformable and tear-resistant, flexing to help achieve a consistent finish over contours. It is stronger than comparable paper products, making it ideal for high-production environments.
For Flawless GeometriesManufacturers of critical automotive components have little room for error in producing parts to specification. Microfinishing removes variations in the surface, minimizes friction, and manipulates metal behavior in other ways. Engine component surfaces and geometry can be improved by using microfinishing, which is essential for finishes of crankshafts and camshafts that rotate on increasingly thinner films of oil.
Recommended Applications3M™ Microfinishing Films are used in the production of industrial components such as custom flanges and fittings for the oil and gas industry, as well as superfinishing of automotive parts, like crankshafts, camshafts, and transmission parts.
