Carbon Material Impregnations & Enhancements

Carbon materials are intrinsically porous. Impregnations of various other materials make the material impervious, enhancing overall characteristics and customising materials for specific applications. Below is an overview of the main carbon impregnations. Contact us today to discuss how these properties could be beneficial for your application.

Impregnation Type Field of Use
Thermoset Resins

General duty up to 260ºC

Water, coolants, fuels, oils, mild chemical solutions, food contacting and pharma

Carbon

Highly corrosive environments

Metals

High duty applications

Antimony – steam, light hydrocarbons

Copper – high-pressure services
