Silicon Carbide | Ultra-Hard Sharp Abrasive
Silicon carbide is a synthetic abrasive with an extremely hard and sharp crystalline structure, used in blasting and surface treatment applications that require high precision and aggressive cutting power. It delivers rapid action and controlled profiling on hard surfaces.
What Is Silicon Carbide?
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an abrasive material synthesized at high temperatures, possessing diamond-like hardness. Its angular and brittle grain structure provides rapid cutting action on surfaces and is especially preferred for hard metals, ceramics, and glass.
