Aluminum carbide powder is a gray-green to yellowish crystalline compound composed of aluminum and carbon. It is known for its high hardness, good thermal conductivity, and reactivity with water or moisture, where it decomposes to produce methane gas.
Our aluminum carbide powder has uniform particle morphology, tight size distribution, and low oxygen content. It is available in multiple particle sizes to meet the requirements of various research and industrial applications. We also offer comprehensive after-sales support—please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
