Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are best suited to silicon carbide sandpaper?

Silicon carbide excels on harder materials including glass, stone, ceramics, fibreglass, and non-ferrous metals like brass and aluminium. It's also ideal for wet sanding painted surfaces and between coats of varnish or lacquer.

Can Bosch Professional silicon carbide sandpaper be used wet?

Yes, many Bosch Professional silicon carbide products feature waterproof backing specifically designed for wet sanding applications. Always check individual product specifications to confirm wet-use suitability.

How does silicon carbide differ from aluminium oxide?

Silicon carbide is harder and sharper than aluminium oxide, making it more effective on hard, brittle materials and non-ferrous metals. Whilst it's more brittle and wears faster on softer materials like wood, it's unmatched for specialist applications requiring aggressive cutting on challenging surfaces.
