Sandpaper or glasspaper are names used for a type of coated abrasive that consists of sheets of paper or cloth with abrasive material glued to one face.

Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum, is a compound of silicon and carbon with chemical formula SiC.

It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite.

Synthetic silicon carbide powder has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive.

Grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics that are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as car brakes, car clutches and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests.

Electronic applications of silicon carbide such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors in early radios were first demonstrated around 1907.

SiC is used in semiconductor electronics devices that operate at high temperatures or high voltages, or both.

Large single crystals of silicon carbide can be grown by the Lely method; they can be cut into gems known as synthetic moissanite.

Silicon carbide with high surface area can be produced from SiO2 contained in plant material.

Canada (French) is a country in the northern half of North America.

Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering, making it the world's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area.

Canada's border with the United States is the world's longest binational land border.

The majority of the country has a cold or severely cold winter climate, but southerly areas are warm in summer.

Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains.

It is highly urbanized with 82 per cent of the 35.15 million people concentrated in large and medium-sized cities, many near the southern border.

One third of the population lives in the three largest cities: Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Its capital is Ottawa, and other major urban areas include Calgary, Edmonton, Quebec City, Winnipeg and Hamilton.

Adhesive may be used interchangeably with glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, and is any substance applied to one surface, or both surfaces, of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation.

Adjectives may be used in conjunction with the word "adhesive" to describe properties based on the substance's physical or chemical form, the type of materials joined, or conditions under which it is applied.

Nonwoven fabric is a fabric-like material made from long fibers, bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment.

The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted.

Some nonwoven materials lack sufficient strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing.

In recent years, nonwovens have become an alternative to polyurethane foam.
