Glassy Carbon

Glassy Carbon

Glassy carbon, also known as vitreous carbon, is an advanced pure carbon material that combines the characteristics of glass and ceramics with graphite-like properties. Unlike graphite, glassy carbon exhibits a fullerene-related microstructure, resulting in a unique set of material properties. It can be processed into various forms such as rods, sheets, tubes, and custom-designed crucibles.

GRAPHITEMATRIX – Glassy Carbon: High-Purity Components for Extreme Environments

At Graphite Matrix, we offer high-performance glassy carbon materials that combine the unique properties of ceramics, graphite, and glass. These advanced carbon components are engineered for extreme environments—including semiconductor processing, metallurgy, crystal growth, chemical analysis, and biomedical applications.

Available in rods, plates, tubes, and custom crucibles, our glassy carbon products deliver exceptional chemical resistance, high thermal stability, and dimensional integrity.
