GF
Graphite Felt

Graphite Felt

High-temperature insulation with improved thermal stability and lower thermal shrinkage than carbon felt. Provides efficient heat shielding and uniform thermal gradients in furnaces operating at very high temperatures. Rayon Graphite Felt is a premium material designed and used for high-temperature insulation in vacuum furnaces and inert gas furnaces, among other applications. Rayon felt has higher carbon and lower ash content in comparison to our Pan felt. Rayon Graphite felt is heat-treated to a temperature of 2500℃.
