Black Silicon Carbide

Black silicon carbide is, after diamond and boron carbide, the third hardest mineral in the world. Chemically, silicon carbide is extremely resistant; it resists the strongest alkalis and acids. In addition to its use as a blasting abrasive, silicon carbide is also used as an additive in the production of slip-resistant, wear-resistant and conductive floor coatings.
