Types and grains available
The classification is based on FEPA, just like silicon carbide or aluminum oxide. The available grits cover the spectrum from F60 (260 µm) to F1200 (3.0 ± 0.5 µm).

Boron carbide
Boron Carbide is a non- oxide ceramics which hardness and durability roughly compared to diamond.
Boron carbide has a slightly higher hardness than, for example, silicon carbide and is suitable therefore for processing very hard materials such as sapphire, hard metals, synthetic gemstones and various ceramics.
As a loose grain, boron carbide is typically used for lapping, drilling and sawing applications and excels by it´s high removal rate which corresponds to short processing times and a particularly long service life. Due to the high purity and a narrow particle size distribution, boron carbide as a lapping material enables a high surface quality and a constant surface quality.
