Pyrolytic Graphite Sheets

Pyrolytic graphite sheets are advanced carbon-based materials formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of high-purity hydrocarbon gas onto a graphite substrate at temperatures between 1800–2000 °C under controlled pressure. This process results in an ultra-high crystalline structure with superior anisotropic properties.

Description

Pyrolytic graphite exhibits extremely high purity (impurity content ≤ 0.0002%), high density (approx. 2.20 g/cm³), and outstanding anisotropic thermal, electrical, magnetic, and mechanical performance. It maintains a vacuum of 10 mmHg even at 1800 °C, making it highly suitable for extreme environments.
