LEAP III Lens edging pads for blocking pads
LEAP III lens edging pads minimise axis slippage, exhibiting excellent torque resistance, which is arguably the most critical feature for blocking pads. Excellent adhesion keeps LEAP III lenses firmly in place during edging, reducing errors and waste. Double tabs now feature on all LEAP III pad styles for easier removal and scratch prevention.
LEAP LSE edging eads for hydrophobic lenses & MAR coatings
LEAP LSE (Low Surface Energy) edging pads are made of a specially formulated adhesive, designed to maintain axis stability for the edging of today’s hydrophobic “non-stick” lenses and MAR coatings (Multi Anti Reflection).
Surface Saver plus tape for all types of Lens
Surface Saver plus tape is a highly conformable protective tape for all types of lens styles and base curves. It has high torque resistance and has the proven “3M Blue” colour for easy inspection. It also has low peel adhesion for clean, easy and effortless tape removal.
