The actual density of silicon carbide ceramics exceeds 98%of the theoretical density of silicon carbide,and SiC is completely impervious without use of any impregnants.It is 50%harder than tungsten carbide.So it offers superb wear resistance and total impermeability at extreme temperature and pressure,no contamination and chemical inertness in high-purity applications.It is widely used in medicine fields,such as microchannel continuous reaction plate,tubular reactor,shell-and-tube heat exchanger and shell and tube condenser,block-type reactor,etc.
