Silicon Carbide
Sintered Alpha silicon carbide is one of the hardest, most corrosion resistant ceramics commercially available. With no free silicon, this material resists even the strongest acids. Silicon carbide also exhibits excellent thermal conductivity making it a good material for mechanical seals. SIC offers exceptional hardness, heat resistance and thermal shock resistance.
Common applications include:
- Mechanical Seals
- Bushings
- Heat Exchanger tubes
- Spray Nozzles
- Faucet Washers
- Automatic water pump seals
- Valve Trim
"The excellent customer service when dealing with Ceramic Technologies as well as the on time delivery service is the main reason I continue to do business with Ceramic Technologies. "
