Technical Data

Colloidal Silica Grades for Sapphire Polishing Slurry

Sapphire polishing slurry combines controlled silica particles with application-specific chemistry to finish hard single-crystal Al₂O₃ surfaces. Particle selection should reflect crystal orientation, substrate format, initial roughness, polishing stage, pad, pressure and target surface quality.

Model Particle Size SiO₂ Content Na₂O Content pH Shelf Life
LS30 30–40 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months
LS50 50–60 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months
LS80 80–90 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months
LS100 100–110 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months
LS120 110–120 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months
LS150 140–160 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months
LS180 170–190 nm 30–50% ≤0.4% 9.5–10.5 ≥12 months

The LS grades are abrasive candidates for sapphire 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 Sapphire Polishing

Connect the abrasive specification with sapphire orientation, polishing stage, equipment and required surface quality.

  • Sapphire substrate: identify crystal orientation, wafer or component type, dimensions, initial roughness and prior processing.
  • 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, scratches, pits, edge damage 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

Sapphire Polishing Slurry Questions

Which colloidal silica grades can be evaluated for sapphire polishing?

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

Applications

Sapphire Polishing Slurry Applications

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

Sapphire Wafer Polishing

Evaluated for sapphire wafers after crystal orientation, particle distribution, pH and defect targets are defined.

LED Sapphire Substrates

Candidate grades can be tested for LED substrate finishing with controlled roughness and defect requirements.

Sapphire Windows and Covers

Can be assessed for optical windows and protective covers with defined flatness, clarity and surface-defect limits.

Sapphire Optical Components

Can be evaluated for lenses, domes and other precision sapphire components after geometry and surface targets are defined.

Sapphire Edge Finishing

Selected particle ranges may be evaluated for edge and shape finishing under controlled slurry and pad conditions.

Custom Sapphire Slurries

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