Silicon Carbide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- SiC
- Carborundum
Silicon carbide supplier Malaysia for abrasive, refractory and metallurgical grit and powder. Also known as SiC, and historically as carborundum, this hard crystalline carbide is traded as graded grain for industrial use, not as semiconductor wafer material.
Commercial supply centres on black and green grades in FEPA or JIS grit sizes and as micro-powder. Black silicon carbide is the standard abrasive and refractory choice, while green grades serve finer grinding, polishing and many technical ceramic jobs. Metallurgical fractions support foundry and steel deoxidation when sizing and assay match the melt practice.
Buyers select material on colour grade, grit or mesh cut, SiC content and limits for free carbon and iron. Typical applications include bonded and coated abrasives, blasting media, refractories, kiln furniture, friction materials and ceramic bodies across manufacturing, mining, construction and automotive plants.
Send the required colour grade, grit or powder size, specification target, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Silicon Carbide grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black silicon carbide grit | graded grit or grain | typically about 97 to 98.5% SiC for common abrasive and refractory grades | Bonded and coated abrasives, blasting media, refractories, kiln furniture and general industrial grinding where toughness matters more than ultra-high purity. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Green silicon carbide grit | graded grit or grain | — | Finer abrasive work, precision grinding, lapping and technical ceramic formulations where higher purity and sharper cutting behaviour are preferred. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Silicon carbide micro-powder | fine powder by mesh or micron cut | — | Polishing, lapping compounds, ceramic bodies, friction materials and other applications that specify a fine particle-size distribution rather than coarse grit. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Metallurgical silicon carbide | grit, grain or lump fractions for foundry and steel use | — | Foundry and steel deoxidation, metallurgical additions and related process uses where SiC content and sizing are matched to the melt practice. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about silicon carbide
Is this page for abrasive silicon carbide or semiconductor SiC wafers?
This page covers abrasive, refractory and metallurgical silicon carbide grit and powder for industrial buyers. It is not a semiconductor wafer or epitaxial materials page. State grit size, colour grade and application so the enquiry is matched to powder or grit supply rather than electronic-grade crystal.
What is the difference between black and green silicon carbide?
Black silicon carbide is the workhorse abrasive and refractory grade, typically selected for grinding, blasting and kiln duty. Green silicon carbide is usually higher in purity and is preferred for finer abrasive work, precision grinding and many technical ceramic formulations. Confirm the colour grade and assay target in the enquiry.
How should I specify silicon carbide grit size?
Buyers normally quote a FEPA or JIS grit number, a mesh range or a micron cut for micro-powder. Include the size system you use, any particle-size limits and whether the material is for abrasives, refractories, foundry charge or ceramics so the quotation can follow the same sizing language.
Can silicon carbide be used in foundry and steel applications?
Yes. Metallurgical grades are used for deoxidation and related melt additions when SiC content and sizing suit the process. Provide the process role, preferred form and any assay or sizing limits so the quoted material can be assessed against the foundry or steel requirement.
What packing and documents can be requested?
List the preferred pack format and any product documents needed with the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade rather than assumed in advance.
What details are needed for a silicon carbide price enquiry?
Provide black or green grade, grit or powder size, application, quantity and delivery location. Add any SiC content, free-carbon or iron limits and preferred packing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
