Silicon carbide is frequently used in wet sanding applications, such as polishing stone and marble, as well as automotive polishing applications. In coarser grits, this abrasive is good for removing rust, deburring metal and glass, refinishing wood flooring (cutting through/removing old finish).
Thereof, can you sand silicon carbide?
Silicon carbide works well on rough surfaces and for polishing. It is more friable than aluminum oxide, and you can use it in wet sanding operations. You can polish parts in automotive applications, remove rust, refinish wood floors, deburr metal, smooth glass edges, and sand between finishing coats.
One may also ask, what is silicon carbide paper used for?
Silicon carbide paper, also known as ‘wet and dry’ paper, is suitable for both dry and wet sanding. It is suitable for sanding hardwood and plywood, soft metal like brass and aluminium, and plastic; also used for smoothing glass edges and frosting glass surfaces.
