About Silicon Carbide
Silicon Carbide
We provide our clients with a high quality range of Silicon Carbide, which is brittle and sharp compound with high electrical and heat conductivity. These are extensively used on leather, rock, non-ferrous metal, cast iron and rubber. It is also functional as a metallurgical additive, flat lapping of metals and ceramics, glass grinding, gear lapping, micro blasting and granite polishing. These can also be used as vitrified wheels and belts, organic wheels and sheets.
