Description

Used in abrasives, polishing, grinding. It is widely applied in applications calling for high endurance, such as automobile brakes, car clutches and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests. Electronic applications of silicon carbide are the light-emitting diodes and sensors. It is utilitarian for the production of fertile, transgenic maize plants. Silicon carbide whiskers and zirconium diboride ceramic, compositely play an important role in crack-healing behavior.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
