The particle size of Silicon carbide, Product 357391, is listed in "mesh". What does this mean?
1 answer-
"Mesh" is a designation that refers to the particle size. It is related to the size screen -or mesh- through which the particles will pass. Product No. 357391 has a particle size of -400 mesh, which corresponds to a size of less than 38μm.

What solvents can I use to dissolve Silicon carbide, Product 357391?
1 answer-
Unfortunately, Sigma-Aldrich does not test the solubility of this material. Fundamentally, Silicon carbide (SiC) is insoluble in water. However, according to Lange's Handbook of Chemistry (16th ed.), beta-phase SiC is expected to be soluble in fused alkali oxides (e.g. KOH) at a ratio of 1 part per 100 parts. No specific solubility information is available for this alpha-phase product.

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.
