Technical Data On Glassy Carbon Processing
Glassy Carbon Impregnation:
  • Substrate densification
  • Elimination of surface particulate generation
  • Improved wear and erosion resistance
  • Extended product life
  • Excellent substrate preparation for further processing

COAT:
  • Available in both matte and high-gloss finishes
  • Elimination of surface particulate generation
  • Sealed surface porosity
  • Substantially decreased permeability
  • Excellent release characteristics (high-gloss)
  • May be tailored to suit non-graphite substrates
