Production of SIKA® Silicon Carbide and co-development

Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a synthetic mineral most commonly produced in electrical resistance furnaces, by the Acheson process, named after the American E.G. Acheson who invented it in 1891. In an Acheson furnace, a mixture of carbon material (usually petroleum coke) and a silica or quartz sand is reacted chemically at high temperatures in the range of 1700 - 2500°C resulting in the formation of α-SiC.
