We offer BLACK SILICON CARBIDE and BROWN ALUMINUM OXIDE powders for the abrasive wheel, slurry, refractory and ceramic industries. Abrasive black silicon carbide powders specifically manufactured to be used for general abrasive applications in bonded abrasive tools, lapping and polishing processes. With a lower hardness and abrasive capacity than diamond or boron carbide, it is widely used for grinding nonferrous materials, finishing tough and hard materials, as well as filling up ceramic parts due to its lower cost. It is commonly used in the following applications:

Slicing of silicon carbide wafers

Rock and stone polishing and engraving

Slicing, lapping, and polishing glass and germanium wafers

Lapping of piston rings and gears

Grinding of nonferrous materials

Finishing tough and hard materials
