Silicon carbide (SiC) is a ceramic high-performance material with excellent tribological properties and low weight at the same time. The good corrosion resistance as well as the excellent high temperature and chemical resistance should be emphasized. SiC is resistant to almost all organic and inorganic chemicals such as phosphoric, sulfuric, nitric or hydrochloric acid. The maximum operating temperature is 1.700°C.

In mechanical engineering and in the chemical industry, SiC has become indispensable as a corrosion and wear-resistant material in pumps, mechanical seals and bearings, etc. It is widely used in mining, steel industry, chemical industry, raw material extraction, mechanical sealing, sandblasting surface etc.
