Key benefits of Silit® SK

Silit® products are lighter than Sintered SiC, yet offer high thermal conductivity, little to no apparent porosity, high mechanical strength, oxidation resistance and maximum service temperature of 1380°C. Silit® products can be made in large sizes and complex shapes, with excellent as-fired dimensional accuracy.
