The LS grades are abrasive candidates for optical-glass polishing slurry development, not finished polishing compounds. Confirm particle distribution, oversized-particle limits and polishing performance through trials.

Polishing Grade Selection

Match Particle Size to the Required Finish

30–60 nm

LS30 and LS50

Finer LS options for polishing trials prioritizing surface finish and lower scratch risk under compatible slurry conditions.

80–120 nm

LS80, LS100 and LS120

Intermediate particle ranges for balancing material-removal rate, surface roughness and defect control.

140–190 nm

LS150 and LS180

Larger candidates for trials requiring higher removal action, subject to strict scratch and oversized-particle control.

Customizable

pH 3–11

The pH can be reviewed within the published customizable range after the target value and tolerance are provided.

Specification Confirmation

Information Needed for Optical Glass Polishing

Connect the abrasive specification with the glass composition, polishing stage, equipment and required surface quality.

  • Optical substrate: identify glass type, composition, dimensions, initial condition and any coating.
  • Polishing stage: specify stock removal, intermediate polishing, final polishing or another process step.
  • Particle specification: provide nominal size, distribution, oversized-particle limit, agglomerate limit and test method.
  • Slurry chemistry: state SiO₂ content, target pH, additives, dilution water and permitted sodium level.
  • Performance targets: define removal rate, surface roughness, flatness, haze, scratch and defect limits.
  • Order details: include equipment, pad, trial quantity, annual demand, packaging and destination country.

Packaging and Storage

Protect Product Stability During Storage

Packaging Options

Available polyethylene packaging sizes are 25 kg, 250 kg and 1000 kg.

Storage Temperature

Store at 0–40°C and protect from freezing. Temperatures below 0°C can cause irreversible gelation.

Direct Sunlight

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during storage and transportation.

Container Closure

Keep containers closed to limit water evaporation and precipitation of solid silica particles.

FAQ

Optical Glass Polishing Colloidal Silica Questions

Which colloidal silica grades can be evaluated for optical glass polishing?

The standard grades are LS30, LS50, LS80, LS100, LS120, LS150 and LS180.

Applications

Applications of Colloidal Silica for Optical Glass Polishing

LS grades can be evaluated as abrasive candidates in optical-glass polishing slurries. Select the particle range by polishing stage and validate removal rate, surface quality, defects and slurry stability in the actual process.

Precision Optical Glass

Evaluated in precision polishing slurries for optical glass after particle distribution, pH and defect performance are qualified.

Optical Lens Polishing

Suitable candidates can be tested for lens surfaces requiring controlled roughness, haze and scratch performance.

Display and Cover Glass

Can be assessed in compatible display and cover-glass polishing processes with defined flatness and defect limits.

Fused Silica Components

Can be evaluated for compatible fused-silica components after removal rate and subsurface-damage requirements are defined.

Optical Glass Edge Finishing

Selected particle ranges may be evaluated in edge and shape-finishing processes under controlled slurry conditions.

Custom Optical Slurries

Supports development requiring a defined LS grade, controlled oversized particles, selected additives and a target pH within 3–11.
