Hard abrasive grits for sand blasting of glass, stone, metal de-rusting. Use with spot sand blaster and compressed air. Coarser grit #30 for quick abrasion while finer grit #200 or #600 for smooth fine cutting. Perfect for stone and glass engraving.
To smoothen cut bottles rims, dress whet stone to restore surface level, and as a polishing/grinding media in ball mill to polish stones and gems. Mix silicon carbide grains with petroleum jelly as a grinding paste or lapping paste to grind valves, ceramic jars or tea pot covers to fit.
Ceramic use as localized reduction effects when added to glazes for special effects. Silicon carbide have very high melting point and hard wearing.
Etching use as a paste to mar printing plate for a matt print.
As hard wearing skid resistant walk ways silicon carbide grains are bonded with epoxy or cement as a grout. Suitable for ship decks, steps, pools side and garden pathway.
Diorama as roads silicon carbide grains glued on with modelling paste that dries transparent.
