Silicon carbide provides the ultimate grip enhancement. When applied, its surface texture creates greater friction between your hands and gun frame for enhanced control and greater comfort.
We provide various textures including 120 grit (black), which feels similar to 120 grit sandpaper and is suitable for competition use. In addition, we also offer 60 grit texture which is less aggressive and ideal for beginners.
Increased Friction
Grip strength is one of the primary factors determining accuracy for shooters. There are various techniques used to increase grip friction, including stippling guns and applying grip tape or creams such as pro grip. While these solutions work temporarily, over extended use they wear off over time and require frequent cleaning; silicon carbide offers a more durable and cost-effective alternative: its textured surface increases skin-to-grip friction for increased skin-grip friction which makes it suitable for competitive shooting or tactical situations where hands may sweat excessively.
Silicon Carbide is a man-made mineral renowned for its hardness and sharpness, making it the ideal abrasive material to grind or sand materials of low tensile strength, withstanding high temperatures without melting or being compromised in any way. Available as powders or grits and even hard ceramics bonded together into hard ceramic structures, silicon Carbide can be found used for applications including blasting, lapping compounds, non-skid flooring/stairways as well as being ground into grinding wheels abrasively.
Silicon carbide coating is a permanent coating designed for gun frames made of polymer, making it perfect for tactical or competition shooting when hands might become sweaty during use. Easy to apply and highly durable, silicon carbide provides great dirt resistance – ideal for use in rugged environments such as hunting.
Brekke Custom offers textured coatings designed to increase friction between the pistol and shooter’s hand, which increases accuracy. Available for polymer or metal gun frames in various textures. Their team pays meticulous attention when surface prepping each gun for the optimal adhesion – they conduct extensive tests before offering their products for sale to customers.
Before applying a silicone carbide coating, make sure you clean and degrease the frame where it will be applied. Mask off any areas you do not wish to cover before spreading epoxy across its surface before scattering silicon carbide powder evenly across it. Allow time for hardening before handling gun, since touching before then may result in abrasions.
Longevity
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an extremely resilient material capable of withstanding high levels of pressure and sliding speeds, chemical assault and thermal shocks, as well as chemical corrosion. SiC is used in numerous applications from bulletproof vests to brake disks in high performance cars – not to mention gun grips with thick layers applied using heat sources – including brake disks in high performance cars, bulletproof vests, raw abrasive grits for sandpaper grinding wheels as well as gun grips which make gun grip surfaces much more durable than traditional stippling alone.
Grip tape is an integral component of skateboarding, and choosing an optimal grip tape material can have a tremendous effect on its performance and lifespan. Your primary options for grip tape include aluminum oxide and silicon carbide materials; each offers distinct properties which may have a significant effect on your skateboarding experience.
Silicone carbide offers several advantages over aluminum oxide in terms of increased traction and durability, making it a suitable option for skaters who prioritize technical performance while wanting their shoes intact for an extended period. If you prefer something with greater balance between traction and longevity, aluminum oxide may be your better option.
Silicon carbide offers numerous advantages over stippling, including being more durable. Stippling can wear down the surface of your gun quickly when exposed to excessive sweat; silicon carbide on the other hand wears down less rapidly while remaining comfortable for your hands.
Grip treatments are an easy way to increase friction between your hands and pistol frames. A two-part epoxy is applied directly onto desired areas of the frame, then silicon carbide powder in any grit desired is poured on top and adhered with adhesive glue; finally the texture is then smoothed out before being cut with a border for an authentic factory look.
Durability
Grip stippling is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase friction between your hands and firearm. This process is easy to perform and can make an enormous difference in your shooting; additionally, it may cost less than purchasing grip panels from gun shops or using skateboard tape which provides great gripping surface area. Alternatively, epoxying silicon carbide onto silicon carbide will work even better as it won’t wear away so rapidly over time.
Carborundum material is also employed in carborundum printmaking, an intaglio printing technique employing an aluminium plate covered with carborundum-grit coated intaglio printing plates – similar to how etchings are created using glass plates – with ink then printed directly onto it and any bare areas being removed, leaving behind prints on paper.
Black silicon carbide granules used in grip coating are similar to those found in industrial abrasives like sandpaper, and are harder than aluminum oxide or garnet, making it an excellent choice for grip textures, as it will outlive other abrasives on your hands without leaving behind any chemicals behind. Furthermore, non-toxic and eco-friendly; silicon carbide will provide long lasting grip textures.
Synthetic abrasives come in various grit sizes for fine to coarse work. Their hexagonal crystal form ensures chemical and physical stability – perfect for pistol grip work!
Silicon carbide will appear as sandpaper when applied to a pistol frame and may shed colors and particles when handled, although this won’t impact performance or affect performance of the frame itself. Since some particles might cling onto clothing or gloves when handling, it may be wise to keep your pistol covered until its surface dries completely in approximately half an hour so you can then handle your pistol as usual.
Cost
As any competitive shooter knows, having an effective grip is vital to their performance. There are various ways to increase grip strength on your gun such as stippling, skateboard tape or pro grip cream; but for maximum edge in competitions silicon carbide may provide the edge needed. As it was specifically engineered for industrial abrasion applications and offers greater hardness than garnet or aluminum oxide materials (both of which wear out before your hands do), silicon carbide may provide you with an edge over time.
Precision gun grit comes in multiple grit sizes and is easily applied to most gun frames, although it’s slightly more costly than other methods. Still, its worth the investment for serious competitors – helping win more matches while making handling less of a stress factor in stressful environments.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard chemical compound comprised of silicon and carbon. With wide band gap semiconductor properties, SiC can be found in bulletproof vest ceramic plates as well as powder forms widely used for grinding and abrasive blasting applications – it even makes beautiful gems known as moissanite!
SiC can also be found in ceramics and glass production. Furthermore, SiC is used as an abrasive for grinding wheels and non-skid flooring and stairs – its Mohs scale hardness rating approaches 9.5; only diamond grit can outshone it!
Known for its hardness, this abrasive is perfect for applications including shotblasting, etching and lapping compounds. Due to its hard surface it also makes an excellent non-skid flooring and stairs material – its hard grain shape resists degradation creating sharp cutting edges while breaking down into smaller particles allowing tumblers to produce consistent particle sizes blends.
