Silk Road Abrasives’ Green Silicon Carbide is created from high-purity quartz sand and coke in an electric resistance furnace. It’s processed through ultra-fine grinding and classification to form micro-powders. With a greenish transparent color and a hexagonal α-type crystal structure, it boasts remarkable hardness, just below diamond. Its strong cutting ability and stable chemical properties make it ideal for grinding hard, brittle, and non-metallic materials like hard alloys, optical glass, ceramics, semiconductors, and more. Our Green Silicon Carbide particles and powders undergo diverse techniques to optimize their shape, surface, and density.
