Silicon Carbide (SiC) – Carborundum / Emery Powder Grain

High‑performance Silicon Carbide (SiC) abrasive grain, also known as Carborundum or Emery Powder. Extremely hard and durable, suitable for industrial applications, stone polishing, and anti‑slip epoxy flooring systems. Available in multiple grain sizes.

Description

Silicon Carbide (SiC), commonly known as Carborundum Powder or Emery Powder, is a highly durable semiconductor material composed of silicon and carbon (chemical formula SiC). Its extreme hardness and thermal stability make it ideal for demanding industrial applications, abrasive processes and surface treatments.

SiC grains can be sintered to form exceptionally hard ceramics used in high‑endurance components such as car brakes, clutches and ballistic armor plates. In the flooring industry, Silicon Carbide is widely used as an anti‑slip additive in epoxy resin systems, providing long‑lasting traction and surface grip.
