CFOAM® 35 HTC graphite foam is a graphitized, lightweight, highly-oriented and open-cell carbon foam produced from mesophase pitch feedstock. CFOAM® 35 HTC graphite foam has exceptionally high thermal conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminum with significant weight savings. In addition to its high thermal conductivity, CFOAM® 35 HTC also demonstrates high electrical conductivity, high strength and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. CFOAM® 35 HTC is also easily machinable, chemically inert, corrosion free, resistant to harsh environments, and resistive to oxidation up to 400°C.

We manufacture and produce CFOAM® 35 HTC at a scale, cost, and commercial output rate to penetrate already identified markets including, but not limited to:

• Thermal management heat sinks for LED lighting, reducing weight, and increasing life
• Lightweight and efficient heat exchangers for commercial military aircraft
• Industrial heat exchangers for enhanced thermal heat transfer in single or multi-phase industrial heat exchanger products
• Electronics component cooling
• Automotive applications providing enhanced cooling in a smaller, lighter weight unit
• Solar improving photovoltaic panel efficiency

Features

• High thermal conductivity per unit weight
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion
• High compressive strength
• Lower weight relative to aluminum (1/6th) and copper heat sinks (1/22nd)
• Inert in corrosive and harsh environments
• Non-flammable in bulk form and oxidation resistant in most oxidizing atmospheres
• Acoustic shielding

Benefits

• High thermal conductivity and high thermal diffusivity enables superior rate of heat dissipation in thermally critical applications
• 22x lighter than copper and 6x lighter than aluminum
• Inert characteristics enable high resistance to environmental degradation in challenging environments
• Highly fire resistant
