Pocofoam^® Graphite

Created through a partnership with Oakridge National Labs, Pocofoam^® graphite foam was developed to create unidirectional heat. This grade has low density and high porosity to handle speed-of-heat transfer.

Highly controlled microstructure provides reliable product performance
Unilateral thermal conductivity funnels heat from sensitive elctronics
Radiofrequency shielding reduces outside interference from readings
High purity maintains process integrity
Chemically inert material properties keep material from reacting to most acids or organic solvents
