The difference between Black silicon carbide F-Grit and P-Grit
There are differences between Black silicon carbide F-Grit and P-Grit in many aspects. Black silicon carbide P-Grit abrasive powder is specifically used in coated abrasives. For example, black silicon carbide water sanding paper, sanding sheets, sponge polishing blocks, nylon polishing wheels, non-woven grinding wheels, black diamond polishing wheels, grid grinding wheels, and other polishing products, these products use black silicon carbide P-Grit grain. Black silicon carbide F-Grit is used for bonded abrasive tools such as resin grinding wheels, diamond grinding wheels, oxalic acid Frankfurt grinding blocks, etc.
The main differences between black silicon carbide P-Grit and F-Grit are reflected in the shape, particle size distribution, and uses.
1. Differences in particle shape.
2. Differences in particle size range.

3. Different uses.
The black silicon carbide P mark is mainly used for coating abrasive tools.
Black silicon carbide F sand can be used not only for consolidating abrasive tools but also as sandblasting media, wear-resistant materials, reaction-sintered ceramic materials, etc.
