Black Silicon Carbide

Black Silicon Carbide is produced by heating silica sand and a carbon source, typically petroleum coke, to high temperatures in a large, open “Acheson” furnace. The result of this high temperature process is the crystalline formation of Silicon Carbide grains. Our Silicon Carbide is offered in standard sizes.
