• More durable & lasts longer than alox
• Works best at high pressures

CERAMIC

• Green, red or orange
• Fast cut, long-lasting if used correctly
• Optional topcoat for cooler grinding
• Optimal at medium/high pressures

SILICON CARBIDE

• Black
• Always sharp
• Gives clean bright cut
• Suited for lower pressures
• Use on stone & glass

SCM - NON-WOVEN

• Brown, purple, green, other
• Sometimes called 'scotchbrite'
• Conditions surface
• Litte/no stock removal
• Low-stretch (LS) or X-Flex

TRIZACT

• Grey
