PYROCARB
- Product Info
- Technical Data

Overview
Pyrocarb is an isotropic graphite base material whose surface is coated with a fine film of amorphous carbon by chemical vapour deposition. While maintaining the excellent characteristics of past isotropic graphite materials, the coating adds a high functionality to this carbon composite material shown in features as high purity and airtightness.
Characteristics
Carbon coating
Excellent heat resistance
Great thermal shock resistance, even when cooling down from red heat (800°C) in water, no peeling off or cracks in the coating.
Excellent corrosion resistance, stable even if immersed in acids or alkalines.
High purity due to using high purity hydrocarbon gas as raw material.
Gas impermeability
Can prevent the permeation of metals like silicon
Low adsorption and emission of gas impurities
Excellent oxidation resistance and silicate (SiO) resistance
No particle emission
Can prevent the emission of graphite powder
Improved smoothenss of the surface
Reduced adhesion of vapour deposition material on the surface
High surface reflectivity index compared to conventional graphite materials
About double the value of conventional graphite materials
Directional dependency of the thermal conductivity of the coat
Compared to conventional graphite materials, the coating in directional thickness is 1/35-1/40, and in surface direction about three times as high
