Central Islip, NY (January 9, 2024) Universal Photonics^® Incorporated, global manufacturer & distributor of critical surfacing & polishing technology, announces the next generation of abrasive polishing compounds specifically for hard optics.

HASTILITE^® HRD is a nanodiamond lapping slurry engineered to reduce process and total polishing times on ultra-hard optics an average 50% to 80%. Traditional diamond lapping processes either achieve high rates or high finish, but not both at the same time. HASTILITE^® HRD’s unique formulation synergistically combines mechanical and chemical properties to enhance removal rates and deliver surfaces with an impeccable finish. Its unique formulation is well paired with a variety of pads, pitch, and synthetic media like UPI’s polyurethane LP UNALON pads.

Universal Photonics^® offers a wide range of polishing compounds, slurries, & powders uniquely designed for optimal stock removal and surface finish. While all are excellent performers across a wide range of speeds, pressures, and polishing media, each formulation has a highly individualized set of properties to meet very specific criteria.

Universal Photonics^® dedication to the advancement of surfacing and polishing technology in all phases of fabrication spans nearly a century providing 9000+ products including polishes, pads & equipment. The company’s goal is to deliver the most advanced surfacing and production products available along with efficient sales service and expert technical assistance. Learn more about HASTIITE^® HRD’s dual technology and the lapping/polishing results your ultra-hard optics can achieve. UPI Fields Applications Engineers are available to discuss the requirements of any critical surfacing application.
