• stability in a wide range of temperatures;
• low friction coefficient.

Product info & Technical Data:

• reactively bonded silicon carbide (SCR-Si1, SCR-Si2) There is free silicon in the composition of the material. This material is cheaper, but not recommended for alkali applications.

• sintered silicon carbide (SCR-S) Pure silicon carbide. More expensive, but versatile. Recommended for all environments.
