General description
Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum, is composed of silicon and carbon, forming a hard refractory ceramic material that exhibits extreme mechanical and thermal stability. This product is a SiC nanopowder with a particle size less than 100 nm and a high surface area of 70-90 m2/g. Our product is primarily made of the beta phase with approximately 3-15% adopting an amorphous structure. With a Mohs scale hardness of 9.5, silicon carbide is one of the hardest materials, which make its nanopowder useful in the production of abrasives for polishing and grinding and as a coating or composite material for high wear-resistance. SiC nanoparticles are also under research as sensors and imaging nanoprobes for bioscience and clinical diagnosis.

How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?
1 answer-
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
