Contact SupplierPyrolytic graphite (PG) is a unique form of graphite manufactured by the decomposition of hydrocarbon gas in a vacuum furnace.
Pyrolytic Graphite (PG) is a unique form of graphite manufactured by decomposition of a hydrocarbon gas at very high temperature in a chemical vapor deposition furnace. The result is an ultra-pure product which is near theoretical density and extremely anisotropic. This anisotropy results from the layered structure as indicated in the drawing. As an example, PG exhibits a thermal conductivity comparable with the best conductors in the ab plane and lower than alumina brick in the c direction. Mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties are generally far superior to conventional graphites. PG is available as plate or machined shapes and as a coating on graphite and other substrates
