3️⃣ Finish Drives Compliance & Sustainability
Polished surfaces help meet compliance standards, like USP Class VI and ISO 10993.
They also last longer, resist contamination, and reduce waste. This supports both regulatory and ESG goals.

2️⃣ Vapor Polishing Unlocks Clarity
This process reflows the plastic’s surface, achieving <4 µin Ra and near-optical transparency.
Perfect for diagnostic windows, microfluidic paths, and optical sensors that demand visual clarity.

1️⃣ Finish = Function
Smooth surfaces reduce turbulence, prevent residue buildup, and improve sealing.
Specifying surface roughness early (Ra value) ensures predictable performance, not just a polished look.
