ABOUT:

Green Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard (Mohs 9.4 / 2600 Knoop) man made mineral that 

possesses high thermal conductivity and high strength at elevated temperatures (at 1000°C, SiC is 

7.5 times stronger than Al2O3

). SiC has a modulus of elasticity of 410 GPa, with no decrease in 

strength up to 1600°C, and it does not melt at normal pressures but instead dissociates at 2700°C.

APPLICATIONS:

Green Silicon Carbide is extremely pure. It can be manufactured into complex bonded shapes 

or used as a loose abrasive. Applications/uses include vitrified & resinoid grinding wheels, honing 

stones, blasting grain/powder, compounds, lapping, polishing and many more
