Our Carbon Solutions Fuel Tomorrow’s Innovations

This is a synthetic form of graphite engineered with high accuracy & consistency in mind, making it useful for applications where tight tolerances & exacting specifications are necessary for optimal performance & reliability.

Isostatic molded graphite, also known as isostatically pressed graphite, is a type of synthetic graphite that is manufactured using a specific process called isostatic pressing. This process involves applying equal pressure to a mixture of fine carbon particles and binder in all directions, resulting in a highly uniform and dense material. The uniformity of the material makes it an ideal choice for applications that require extremely tight tolerance machining, guaranteeing precision and dependability in high-performance settings.

We offer sheets and rolls of this material, which is made from natural graphite flakes & can be used for sealing, heat spreading, pressure equalizing, & more.

• 0.5mm (roll and sheet)
• 0.8mm (roll and sheet)
• 1.0mm (sheet),
• 1.5mm (sheet)

• Natural Flake: This processed natural graphite can be used in a variety of industrial applications such as lubricants, batteries, & coatings.
• Synthetic: This man-made material is typically more than 99% carbon & can be used in a variety of industrial settings such as corrosion products, conductive fillers, & rubber/plastic compounds.

We also offer particle size analysis of Carbon & Graphite Powders.

Laboratory graphite refers to high-purity graphite specifically designed for use in laboratory settings, particularly in scientific research, analytical chemistry, and materials science. This form of graphite is characterized by its uniformity, consistency, and low levels of impurities, making it suitable for a variety of precise applications.

We offer a range of laboratory graphite products, which include DC/Arc electrodes tailored for analyzing high purity copper & modern materials. The grades of graphite used for the Arc electrodes are chosen for uniform conductivity & structure. Our electrodes are produced according to ASTM E 130 standards. Additionally, our low & high purity graphite products are suitable for fusions & melting high purity copper.

• Available in standard sizes from 10ml-40ml
• Custom sizing upon request

• SP-1 high purity graphite powder line is used to create conductive samples for analysis
• SP-2 high purity graphite powder line is used as a buffer for volatile samples

• No more than 2 elements may be present & no single element may exceed 1 ppm
• Performed on an ATOMCOMP, which uses a strong electric current to analyze the materials. A Charge Injection Device (CID) then converts light into an electrical charge, manipulating it to capture & process visual information. The CID surrounds the electrode with inert gas to stabilize the arc & reduce cyanogens banding.

• Uses a Glow-Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS) & provides full periodic table coverage (except H)
• 7-10 business days for testing results

• Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (AES) Systems: These systems use spectrographic electrodes to excite samples so that the emitted light can be analyzed to determine elemental compositions. AES is widely used in metallurgy, environmental science, and chemical analysis.
• Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) Equipment: ICP-OES systems often use graphite electrodes for sample analysis, especially in high-purity testing environments. These systems excite atoms and ions in the sample, allowing precise analysis of a wide range of elements.
• Direct Current Arc Spectrometers: Arc spectrometers utilize high-purity graphite electrodes to create an arc discharge, which vaporizes the sample material, exciting it to emit light that can be analyzed for elemental content. These are frequently used for metals, alloys, and mineral samples.
• X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzers: While graphite electrodes are less commonly used directly in XRF, graphite is sometimes used as a backing material or in other components due to its purity and stability in high-energy environments.
• Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GD-MS): This technique uses a glow discharge to vaporize samples, sometimes using graphite for electrode components due to its ability to sustain the plasma.

Graphite’s high-purity, thermal stability, and conductivity make it essential in these systems for consistent, non-contaminating performance.

The Prodigy DC Arc stand is an upgrade from the original “Spex” design used in earlier DC Arcs, & features a user-friendly counter electrode that rotates out for easy sample electrode installation. It includes a current-stabilized power supply for improved stability & an optional Stallwood Jet to reduce CN (cyanide) band emissions when needed.

• Can directly analyze powders, wires & chips without the need to digest or dilute the sample.
• Full Spectrum Acquisition mode gives user the ability to capture a permanent data record of the full DC Arc spectrum for future reference.
• Gives user the ability to subtract spectra from one another.

• Eliminates Sample Digestions
• Provides Low Limits of Detection
• Fast Qualitative & Semi-Quantitative Analysis
• Capture Full Spectrum & Perform
• Elemental Fingerprinting

If pursuing research in graphene materials, we can give precursor materials that can be adopted to meet the needs of the targeted application.

Flexible Felt Insulation is a high-performance thermal insulation material commonly used in applications that require both flexibility and efficient heat management. Made from carbon or graphite fibers, this felt insulation provides excellent thermal resistance, lightweight durability, and versatility, making it ideal for high-temperature environments where traditional rigid insulation cannot be used.

Key characteristics of Flexible Felt Insulation include:

• High-Temperature Resistance: Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, this insulation is often used in applications requiring thermal protection in temperatures exceeding 2000°C in inert or vacuum environments.
• Flexibility and Conformability: Unlike rigid insulation materials, flexible felt can easily adapt to complex shapes and contours, allowing for a snug fit around equipment, pipes, or irregular surfaces.
• Low Thermal Conductivity: The carbon or graphite composition provides low thermal conductivity, reducing heat loss and ensuring energy efficiency in high-temperature applications.
• Lightweight and Easy to Handle: This material is lightweight and easy to cut, shape, and install, which streamlines the installation process and minimizes additional weight on equipment.

Flexible Felt Insulation is commonly used in applications across industries like aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, solar energy, and high-temperature furnace manufacturing. Its unique combination of flexibility, thermal resistance, and durability makes it a top choice for protecting equipment and processes from extreme heat.
