• Very uniform surface finish
  • High cutting rates
  • More uniform distribution of particle size
  • The self-sharpening abrasives offer high removal rates
  • Tougher/harder particles
  • Blocky shape
  • Hexagonal microcrystallites that are similarly hard in any direction
  • Very rough surface because of more cutting points
  • A surface area 300 times more than monocrystalline diamonds
  • Absence of abrasion-resistant directionality as the abrasion is independent of the orientation of the particle
