Silicon Carbide, Black

Black silicon carbide (SiC) is a semi-friable abrasive often used for general abrasive applications in bonded abrasive tools, lapping, polishing, tock tumbling, glass etching and frosting.  It is an excellent choice for recycling as it is a sharp, blocky abrasive that breaks down into sharp splinters.
