Green Silicon Carbide (GC, commonly called green carborundum) is a special abrasive for multi‑wire sawing of optical glass. It delivers high purity, sharp angular grains and outstanding self‑sharpening performance. With Mohs hardness 9.2‑9.5, it provides strong cutting power and stable chemical properties.
