Carbon Felt & Graphite Felt

Carbon felt and graphite felt is an ideal material for high temperature insulation in vacuum furnaces and inert gas furnaces. The needle-punched PAN based carbon and graphite felt is light in weight and has low thermal conductivity.

Carbon and graphite felt can be used in oxidizing temperatures up to 400 °C and in vacuum or protective atmospheres up to 3200 °C. Rayon Based and PAN Based felt are available.
