Red Silicon Carbide paper

[Boo2]

Hi,

Just bought some Silicon Carbide paper off the web and when it arrived it was a dark brick red colour instead of the dark grey I was expecting and it does not have silicon carbide printed on the back like the last lot had. Does Silicon Carbide paper come in different colours ? Or should I query the seller ?

Thanks,

Boo2

I used to have a massive roll of red stuff - it was designed for industrial belt sanders but worked just as well cut into sheets.

Can't say I've ever seen Si Carbide other than grey.
OTOH, I've seen Al. Oxide paper in all sorts of colours, including brick-red.
Is the type of abrasive that important to you?
