Anadolu Kumlama Black Silicon Carbide is a synthetic material among the hardest abrasives. Its sharp, friable grains continually form new cutting edges. It is preferred for processing hard materials and for glass, stone and ceramic surfaces.
Technical specifications
- Material
- Silicon carbide (SiC)
- Hardness
- 9 – 9.5 on the Mohs scale
- Density
- ~3.2 g/cm³
- Colour
- Black
- Shape
- Angular and sharp
Typical grain sizes
| FEPA code | Size range (µm) | Application |
|---|---|---|
| F 24 | 600 – 850 | Heavy surface preparation |
| F 60 | 212 – 300 | General blasting |
| F 120 | 90 – 125 | Fine surface treatment |
| F 220 | 45 – 75 | Very fine work |
Blasting applications
- Processing of glass, stone and ceramic surfaces
- Surface preparation of hard metals and castings
- Stripping of hard coatings
- Production of sandpaper and abrasive products
Advantages
- Very high hardness and fast cutting
- Forms new sharp edges as it breaks down
- Effective surface profile on hard materials
- Wide choice of FEPA grades
Black Silicon Carbide gives fast, powerful cutting on hard materials where aluminium oxide falls short. Values are typical industry figures; contact our sales team for the product data sheet and current grain options.
