Central Islip, NY [May 20th, 2025] – Universal Photonics® Incorporated (UPI), global leader in advanced surfacing products and technology, announces the launch of 3M™ FLEXIBLE TRIZACT™ Diamond Tile Abrasive Pads. With FLEXIBLE TRIZACT™, fixed-abrasive technology now offers unprecedented adaptability for complex optical geometries.

TRIZACT™ Diamond Tile Pads have long been favored for superior removal rates and reduced subsurface damage, however its stiff polycarbonate backing aligns best to flat optic applications. In contrast, FLEXIBLE TRIZACT™ seamlessly conforms to concave, convex and cylindrical tools, significantly broadening use to a wider range of optical components.

Its availability in a range of micron sizes accommodates various substrates and lapping applications. In addition, FLEXIBLE TRIZACT™ can be sized to fit standard or custom configurations.
