Silicone Carbide Elements
We distribute the Kanthal™ Globar® range of silicon carbide heating elements.
Product Description
We distribute the Kanthal™ Globar® range of silicon carbide heating elements. They are available in various grades ranging from traditional recrystallized alpha silicon carbide (SD) to reaction sintered grades (SG and SR).
Typical applications for these heating elements include high temperature laboratory furnaces, sintering furnaces, melting furnaces, holding furnaces, low pressure die casting furnaces and glass feeders.
