Starcke Open Grit Silicon Carbide Belts – 16 Grit
This is the belt we reach for when the floor is nasty enough that premium ceramics immediately fail.
Some jobs are so loaded with adhesive, paint, shellac, or unknown buildup that even high-end ceramic belts glaze over and stop cutting. When that happens, open-coat silicon carbide becomes the right tool for the job.
Starcke Open Grit Silicon Carbide Belts use widely spaced, sharp mineral grains that shed debris instead of packing it. That open structure resists clogging and keeps cutting where dense ceramic belts instantly plug. Paired with a tough cloth backing, these belts deliver aggressive removal and dependable bite at a lower cost per floor.
These are built for heavy removals, rough leveling, and “rip it and start over” floors—the kind contractors see on demos, flips, rentals, and disaster jobs.
