Graphite Surface Treatments – Enhancing Performance in Extreme Environments
To improve the properties of graphite – such as density, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance at high temperatures – we offer advanced surface treatments and impregnations .
Our solutions include:
Graphite paint – alcohol- and water-based, providing protection against dust and surface wear, while enhancing lubrication and cleanliness of graphite insulation.
Water-based SiC coating – an oxidation-resistant treatment that protects graphite surfaces from degradation at elevated temperatures.
Plasma coating with zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) – a durable surface protection that prevents carburization and metal penetration during brazing and heat treatment.
CVD coatings in cooperation with Toyo Tanso – such as SiC and TaC, applied by chemical vapor deposition for maximum durability and oxidation resistance in extreme conditions.
Why These Treatments Matter
Improved oxidation resistance – SiC and TaC coatings protect graphite surfaces against high-temperature degradation.
Increased wear resistance – ZrO₂ coatings extend component lifetime in demanding processes.
Protection against metal contact – minimizes the risk of molten metals infiltrating or adhering to graphite surfaces during processing.
Customized surface properties – alcohol- and water-based paints make graphite easier to handle and machine, while also improving lubrication.
Typical Applications
Industrial furnaces & heat treatment – protected surfaces maintain integrity during continuous heating in oxidation-prone environments.
Brazing and metalworking – zirconium oxide coatings prevent unwanted metal bonding.
Semiconductor processes – CVD coatings such as SiC and TaC ensure optimized performance in highly demanding environments.
Battery and energy components – improved wear resistance and oxidation protection ensure long-term stability and reliability.
With our advanced surface modifications, graphite becomes tailored for extreme environments – delivering longer lifetime, higher reliability, and superior protection against degradation. The ideal solution for the most demanding applications.
