Universal Photonics - Model AD0016 -Boron Carbide #240
Boron Carbide is a highly efficient abrasive material known for its chemical and physical properties resembling that of diamond. With its significant chemical resistance and exceptional hardness, it serves as an ideal choice primarily for grinding applications. Boron Carbide is typically used by diluting it in water, with deionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water preferred though not required. Due to its heavy particle nature, strong agitation is necessary to prevent hard packing. The concentration used may vary depending on specific operations. For optimal results, consultation with the Universal Photonics' technical team is recommended to determine the best processing conditions tailored to individual needs.
