Description

What is Pyrolytic Graphite?
Pyrolytic graphite is a highly anisotropic carbon material formed via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hydrocarbon gases onto a graphite substrate at 1800–2000°C under controlled pressure. The result is a material with extremely high purity (impurities < 0.0002%), high density, and strong directional thermal and electrical conductivity.
