Carbon Carbon

carbon carbon products

Works well as a thermal insulator based on the following properties:

  • Reproducible strength levels at 2100°C
  • Low co-efficient of thermal expansion reducing thermal stress
  • Oxidation resistant
  • High tolerance to impact damage
  • High thermal and chemical stability

Common Uses

  • Insulation and furnace lining
  • Baffles
  • Fixtures
  • Structural support mechanisms
  • Excellent when purity is a must
  • Cylinders up to 96”dia x 180” long, made in 1 piece
