Graphite materials and products are specially engineered to meet the needs of the glass container industry. This ideal hot glass handling material has the heat resistance, strength, durability and non-absorption characteristics to perform under the most rigorous conditions without damaging the glassware.

Beyond their hot glass handling capabilities, these materials have properties that make them very machinable. The uniform structure and fine particle size allow the material to be machined into precision parts. The high-strength of the materials resist wear to extend part life.

Graphite Properties
Superior thermal shock resistance.
Excellent flexural and tensile strength and hardness characteristics.
High resistance to oxidation – further impregnation also available.
Uniform porosity, small grain size, homogeneity
Design flexibility and machinability
