Description

Pyrolytic graphite is an advanced carbon material produced through chemical vapor deposition of hydrocarbon gases at 1800–2000 °C under controlled pressure. This process results in highly oriented crystalline layers, giving the material excellent anisotropic properties such as superior thermal and electrical conductivity in the AB plane, while offering high mechanical strength and extremely low impurity levels (as low as 0.0002%).

Pyrolytic graphite maintains structural integrity under high temperatures, up to 1800 °C in a vacuum of 10 mmHg, making it ideal for extreme conditions.

Typical Applications

  • Semiconductor heat spreaders

  • Nuclear reactor shielding

  • Aerospace insulation and radiation barriers

  • Advanced thermal management in electronics

  • X-ray and neutron monochromators

  • Magnetic levitation and sensor substrates
