Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is silicon carbide production. The reference product is silicon carbide. Silicon carbide is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 000409-21-2. It is called methanidylidynesilanylium under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: Csi. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and appears as yellow-greenish crystalls. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: fillers, putties, plasters, modelling clay, metal surface treatment products, non-metal-surface treatment products, metals, welding & soldering products, washing & cleaning products, adhesives and sealants and coating products. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: mineral products (e.g. plasters, cement), metals and chemicals. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
