Carbon Graphite Reduces Maintenance and Downtime

Carbon Graphite is self-lubricating with superior strength and hardness. It is resistant to chemicals, corrosion, and oxidation; has an extremely low wear rate; and performs well in a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic to high temperature.

Carbon graphite components are ideal for a variety of challenging applications & environments, offering advantages over other materials in:

  • Dry-running applications such as oil-free vacuum pumps and oil-free compressors, as well as applications where lubricants cause issues, including food and beverage and pharmaceutical applications where lubricants could contaminate products
  • A wide range of temperatures—from cryogenic to 700 degrees Fahrenheit—including environments where temperatures fluctuate
  • Exposure to most molten metals, chemicals, and solvents
  • Applications for Wastewater and Water Systems, Oil & Gas, Chemical Processing, Power Generation, Food & Beverage, Cryogenics, Aerospace, Medical, and many other industries
