Pyrolytic Graphite and Coatings
Popular as a coating for sealing machined graphite hardware, pyrolytic graphite (PG) forms an impermeable protective layer and possesses mechanical, thermal and electrical properties beyond what is achievable with conventional graphite. An ultra-pure product, PG is near theoretical density and is highly anisotropic (300 W/m-K in ab direction, 3.5 W/m-K in c). PG is chemically inert and is stable at extreme temperatures (up to 3000°C).
Recognized as the global technology leader in engineered coating solutions, Momentive Technologies has extensive graphite machining and measurement capability to handle your customized requirements. This specialized graphite is available in plates, machined shapes or as a coating on graphite. Our team of expert engineers is always here to help you design the right solutions for you and your specific applications.
