Anything green is aluminum oxide, which is a very fragile abrasive. It breaks down and plugs belts quickly, so it's best to clean the belt all the time.
Boron Carbide doesn't seem to break down much. I'm not sure if it's because it's not friable, but it keeps on deburring very effectively for a surprisingly long time.
That's about all it does though. It always leaves a slick, polished edge, pretty much like aluminum oxide. It just works much longer, and the belt seems to stay cleaner. I only clean the belt after 3-4 applications.
