Graphite

Graphite is a material that has good lateral conductivity, which promotes heat transference from critical hotspots to another part in the application with better cooling criteria. Different thermal and mechanical characteristics can be achieved depending on how the graphite sheet is structured. Heat exchange from a graphite sheet to air is more efficient than, for example, heat exchange from aluminium to air. This very pleasant characteristic means that you can coat larger surfaces and create ultra-lightweight and efficient cooling. Perhaps on the inside of a chassis? Graphite is cool – contact us for more information.
