Green silicon carbide (SiC) micropowder is widely recognized as an excellent precision polishing media for stone, glass, ceramics, and hard non-metallic materials.

The use of silicon carbide (SiC) for stone polishing is a classic and highly effective application. Why Silicon Carbide? Silicon carbide is an ideal abrasive for stone due to its unique combination of properties: Extreme Hardness: With a Mohs hardness of 9.5, it is significantly harder than almost all natural stones (granite ~6-7, marble ~3-5, quartzite ~7).

Green silicon carbide is generally NOT used for the final polishing of optical glass. Its primary role is in the earlier, more aggressive grinding and lapping stages. Using it for polishing would likely ruin the glass surface. Core Principle: Polishing vs. Grinding/Lapping Polishing: The goal is to achieve a perfectly smooth, transparent, and scratch-free surface at the atomic/molecular level, removing the amorphous damaged layer left

Black SiC micropowder is a versatile and indispensable industrial material. Its role extends from foundational processes like metalworking and refractories to enabling cutting-edge technologies in semiconductors, electronics thermal management, and advanced composites.

Black silicon carbide (SiC) crucibles represent the highest tier of refractory performance, engineered for extreme thermal, mechanical, and chemical demands.

Green silicon carbide lapping powder remains the workhorse abrasive for precision machining of hard, brittle materials due to its unique combination of hardness, fracture characteristics, and cost-effectiveness.
