High Temperature Carbon and Graphite Felts 2000°C

Carbon and Graphite Felts, up to 2,000 °C

Graphite is a natural mineral derivative of carbon (C). It has a hexagonally shaped structure and is soft and flexible. It is usually of black or grayish color. Carbon and graphite products are appreciated for their chemical and physical properties: chemically inert, thermal resistance, low thermal and electrical conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, low friction coefficient, low coefficient of absorption of X-rays and electrons. Moreover, these products can be used in different fields: they can be found in pencils and alkaline batteries but also in the metallurgy, automobile and high technologies industries.

Benefits of Carbon and Graphite Felts

Low thermal conductivity
Low specific heat: allowing for rapid heating and cooling of furnaces.
High thermal stability: in oxidizing atmospheres up to 350 °C, in protective or vacuum atmospheres up to approximately 3,000 °C for graphite and 1,000 °C for carbon.
Ease of processing: can be cut with scissors or blades. Adapted to small flexural radii.
Good surface properties: unaffected by all molten metals.
High purity: low sulphury and ash content
No electrostatic charging
High resistivity: coupling in an inductive field only occurs above 12 kHz.

Carbon and Graphite Soft Felts, up to 2,000 °C

Carbon and graphite felts with thicknesses of 6 and 11 mm with a width of 1,200 and 1,270 mm are available. Specific widths can be provided and special shapes can be cut to your specifications.

Applications of Carbon and Graphite Soft Felts

Thermal insulation for vacuum furnaces and inert gas furnaces
Heated smelting and holding furnaces
Inductively heated furnaces
Filters for hot and/or corrosive gases and liquids, for molten metals
Backing strips for soldering and welding
