The solar industry relies on silicon to make solar wafers and Washington Mills manufactures silicon carbide powders to slice the silicon into ultra thin wafers. Our precision sized silicon carbide powders are used as a loose abrasive in the wiresawing method to slice silicon. We manufacture our silicon carbide powders using high quality raw materials, modern processing facilities to monitor stable chemistries, sizing to exact tolerances, and packaging to ensure safe shipping and handling. Washington Mills' precision sized silicon carbide powders are produced to enhance yields thus generating savings to the end user.
