High-Temperature & Corrosive Applications

High-tech industrial processes often require high-temperature operations. In the high-temperature systems used, components must have long-term stability under very high temperatures, in sometimes chemically aggressive environments. With this property profile, graphite and carbon make the most of their advantages over other materials — including high mechanical strength, resistance to aggressive media, thermal shock resistance, and conductivity of high electrical and thermal currents. SGL Carbon offers a wide range of solutions: from heating elements and charging systems to graphite felts for thermal insulation, structural components, and heat-resistant carbon fiber textiles.

Equipment for Corrosive Applications

Heat exchangers (Shell & Tube, Block, Plate & Frame), columns, reactors and vessels, centrifugal and axial pumps and quenchers based on graphite, silicon carbide, PTFE and exotic metals. No matter what you are looking for, we have just the right equipment.
