Glass Forming Graphite Grades

Optimally match the smart glass the molds are being used for

Our GF and GF-LT graphite materials are produced using a proprietary process that enhances material properties, surpassing that of traditional graphites.The properties of these grades have been developed to optimally match the smart glass the molds are being used for. Our materials improve cost of ownership, increase yield, and reduce operational expenses.
