Silicon Carbide

A sharp-edged grit for almost any blasting job!

The sharp-edged grit is suitable for the highest demands and almost all blasting applications. Made from a chemical compound of silicon and carbon, it has a high thermal conductivity.

Silicon is highly abrasive and due to its fracture behaviour is excellent for high cutting capacity and is often used in grinding applications.

Silicon carbide is non-toxic and therefore harmless to health and is non-carcinogenic.

This extremely hard abrasive is particularly suitable for processing extremely hard materials for injector and air blast systems.

Application

Blast cleaning:

  • Cleaning of metal surfaces, especially hardened steel
  • Roughening
  • Removal of rust and scale from metal surfaces
  • Matting of hard metal surfaces
  • Treatment of extremely hard workpieces

Suitable blasting systems:

  • Injector blasting systems
  • Air blast systems
