Silicon carbide abrasives are hard, sharp abrasives that work effectively on metal, stone and wood finishes. Popular use cases include coarse grade stock removal and rough sanding operations. POWERTEC’s premium black silicon carbide sanding belts feature a closed coat for optimal grain coverage, making them an excellent choice for use on harder materials. Microfractures occur with repeated use (friability), yet don’t degrade as quickly as aluminum oxide abrasives do. Size A sanding belt’s grain size plays an integral part in cutting and shaping workpieces. Smaller grains make sanding faster while larger ones take more effort to grind; larger ones tend to leave rougher finishes than their counterparts; hardness and durability …
