SiC Green Silicon Carbide (SiC) Powder – Multiple Grit Sizes

Overview

TOB Green Silicon Carbide (SiC) Powder is a hard, chemically stable ceramic powder offered in multiple grit (mesh) grades, including 46#, 80#, 320#, 600#, 1000#, and 3000#. Green SiC is widely used where controlled particle size, high abrasion performance, and thermal/chemical robustness are required—ranging from precision surface finishing to advanced materials and electrochemical research workflows.

Working Principle and Material Behaviour

Silicon carbide is a covalently bonded ceramic with excellent wear resistance and thermal stability. In abrasive and polishing applications, the angular SiC particles provide efficient micro-cutting and consistent surface refinement. In materials and battery R&D, SiC can function as a structural ceramic additive (e.g., to tune porosity, mechanical strength, and thermal pathways) or as a robust filler in composite coatings where chemical inertness is important.

Key Features

• Multiple particle-size grades (mesh/grit options): 46# to 3000# for coarse grinding through fine polishing
• High hardness and wear resistance for repeatable surface preparation
• Chemically stable and temperature-tolerant ceramic chemistry (SiC)
• Suitable for dry powder use or slurry-based processing (with appropriate dispersants/binders)
  
  

Compatibility and Typical Uses

• Surface preparation: lapping, grinding, polishing of metals, ceramics, and electrode substrates
• Battery and electrochemistry R&D: additive/filler in electrode slurries, coatings, separators, or composite components (application-dependent)
• Materials processing: ceramic composites, refractory formulations, functional coatings
