As engineers develop designs that push the boundaries of what’s possible, they search for new materials, or adaptations of materials, that can withstand increasingly extreme environments. Many new designs need materials that can endure extreme temperatures for long stretches of time, like seals and bearings that go into ovens, rockets, and turbines that can see temperatures above 1000°F. These temperatures wreak havoc on most traditional materials, rendering them expensive to replace or dangerous to operate.

Carbon graphite has a unique set of physical properties that allows it to be used in environments where traditional lubricants and other self-lubricating materials will fail.

Large-scale food production often requires the use of highly engineered conveyors with many specialized components, particularly when heat is involved in the production process.

Over the course of operation, carbon graphite bearings will experience wear due to friction between the bearing and the rotating shaft it supports.

Gypsum wallboard is everywhere. The construction industry uses this material as much as possible because of its durability, versatility, and affordability.
