Description

Graphite Felts is a high quality insulation for vacuum and inert gas furnaces where the maximum temperature can be up to 3000°C.


Rayon Graphite Felt is the ideal choice for vacuum furnaces or process temperatures above 2000°C due to its low shrinkage and negligible gas evolution below 3000°C.


Rayon Graphite Felt also features enhanced oxidation resistance. For special requirements, it can be purified to less than 10 ppm in total ash content.

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
