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
