Silicon carbide belongs to the highest quality ceramics materials, mostly defined by:
· High hardness
· Wear resistance
· Chemical resistance
· Low thermal expansion
· Corrosion resistance
· High temperature resistivity
· Low measured density
· Excellent sliding properties
· Liquid and Gas impermeability
· Chemical properties do not make corrosion in aggressive mediums, like acids, hydroxides, steams and gases
· Wear resistance in abrasives mediums
