SiC (Silicon Carbide) is the hardest and sharpest of the minerals used in abrasives. Thanks to its hardness and very sharp shape, this abrasive is ideal for multiple applications that do not require great pressure when cutting. Its grains are friable and, when broken, they continually expose new cutting edges that allow rapid removal of the material. It is more aggressive than Alox but wears out more quickly.
It is a support combination, by lamination, cloth and rigid paper (E or F) and is used where mechanical resistance to breaking and cracking/folding is a determining requirement. It is mainly used in large belts with coarse grains for working large chipboard / MDF panels.
The Z cloth is the strongest and most resistant of the cloths and is used in specific situations.
