Cerium oxide polishing slurry:
ULTRA-SOL® 1000 is an exceptionally uniform cerium oxide dispersion used extensively for general purpose polishing of glass, quartz, fused silica, and other silica-based optical materials. The alkaline (pH 9) slurry is formulated to provide chemically enhanced polishing, high throughput, and excellent surface finish. ULTRA-SOL® 1000 performance exceeds industry specifications for sleek, scratch/dig, and surface finish. The controlled particle distribution helps to eliminate sub-surface damage caused by errant large particles. The unique chemistry allows for a uniform and permanent suspension of the abrasive, which provides consistent and repeatably superior surface finishes. The advanced particle suspension technology in the ULTRA-SOL® 1000 also creates an easy-to-use slurry in a production environment.
