Silicon Carbide Valves
Edgetech Industries, Advanced Ceramics Division supplies high-quality and competitive price advanced Silicon Carbide (SiC) Valves.
Silicon Carbide Valves, SiC Ceramic Valve
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a lightweight ceramic material with high-strength properties comparable to diamond. It has excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. Silicon Carbide is an excellent ceramic material for applications that require good corrosion and wear resistance, such as conveying media such as acids, alkalis, salts, silicon powder, coal powder, etc. We supply Silicon carbide valves and other ceramics upon request.
