Carbon Foam Products Have Revolutionized Manufacturing
One of the most powerful ramifications of carbon foam products is how they relate to strength. Everything from insulation to airplane and rocket construction to protective armor, battery applications and building materials - they are all stronger and lighter when built with this newly developed core manufacturing substance. To the touch it may feel like stone, but our research has created a modern industrial miracle of articulated open or closed cell carbon foam that can be bought in sheet form or block. As manufactures we produce A, B and Cfoam refractory materials as the base product.

Carbon foam is designed to meet growing demand for ultra-high performance engineering materials in the military, industrial, aerospace, and commercial product markets.
Non Combustible
Carbon Foam is a non-combustible material that does not get hot and does not burn. It exhibits both excellent mechanical and thermal properties making it an ideal engineering material for high end applications including aerospace tooling, fireproof walls, energy absorbing structures, blast protection systems, thermal protection systems, exhaust systems, hot structures, and panels for shielding and radar absorption.
Lightweight, Strong, Versatile
Carbon Foam is an extremely hard, high strength, high-density carbon with a dark slate-like appearance. It can be customized to a smooth or coarse surface finish to meet application requirements.
Low Electrical Conductivity
Carbon Foam has the potential to be used as an engineering material for rocket nozzles, high temperature/high impact surface material for vertical take-off and landing pads, furnace floors or other industrial application requiring excellent high temperature performance and chemical resistance.
A Cost Effective Solution
Carbon Foam is enabling technologies for a host of next-generation material systems and components. It can replace conventional materials in existing systems to increase product life cycle and to provide enhanced product performance properties.
1. Airplane Construction
Carbon Foam is used throughout the structural components of modern aircraft, providing internal support, noise abatement, and temperature insulation - all with the crucial property of being completely non-flammable.
Our Carbon Foam is a "3 dimensional product" that can be shaped with any contour, thickness and shape required for the engineering of your project.
The development of high thermal conductivity Carbon Foam for thermal management applications is currently a hot topic of Carbon foam research. Studies are beginning to show that the thermal conductivities of Carbon Foam are proving to be much greater than other solid metals including copper.
Additional benefits of Carbon Foam in airplane construction beyond its thermal properties include its low manufacturing cost, light weight, and strength in technical applications even under extreme conditions.

Aerospace Engineering
CarbonFoam is making an impact in the aerospace industry and the engineering the future of space travel - especially rocket motors.
A rocket’s thrust is generated by burning a solid propellant, therefore generating hot gases, which are passed through a nozzle. Most rocket nozzles are made from various metal alloys which are proven to tolerate extreme temperatures and pressures. However, these metal materials are heavy and expensive. Carbon Foam on the other hand, has the potential to significantly improve rocket motor nozzles, as well as exhaust and thrust generation of aircraft of any type.
CarbonFoam can produce simple nozzles in any required shape, while being lighter, stronger, and as effective in any temperature as its metal counterparts. The opportunities available in design and manufacturing of rocket and airplanes can be further enhanced by Carbon Foam technology.

2. Carbon Foam Insulation
Carbon Foam Insulation has proven to be superior in energy retention and sound mitigation all while being completely fire resistant.
Other insulation materials cannot compete with a material that is extremely strong and durable under extreme temperatures and best of all will not burn. Carbon Foam in either open or closed cell form will not conduct either heat or the absence of it. It can withstand drastic temperature changes and always retains the shape it was tooled into.
We offer an ideal material for thermal management applications. Studies show that the overall heat transfer of other available insulating products are up to two orders of magnitude greater than those of conventional heat sinks.
The insulation advantages of Carbon Foam come from the fact that it’s a 3-D material. The structural network allows it to be lightweight and adjustable to thermal and electrical properties, more so than 2-D materials such as graphene sheets and biomass. Ordinary foam, batten or blown in materials may be sufficient for an attic or the walls of a house but when it comes to the high stress environments found in planes, rockets, cars and ships strength is imperative.
3. Carbon Foam Batteries
Carbon foam has excellent properties for the manufacturing of a high end battery due to its ability to resist sulfation which is what breaks down traditional AGM batteries. Our batteries exhibit extended life cycles, perform well in less than optimum temperatures whether extreme cold or heat and take charges quicker.
Not only do carbon foam batteries outperform their counterparts in automotive and other land based applications, they have also shown their superiority in the marine environment. A carbon foam deep cycle battery is the preferred choice of commercial and recreation boaters today.
4. Carbon Foam Composite Tooling
CarbonFoam offers superior tooling than other more common metal and clay based methods. With the boom of Carbon Foam innovation, we have been able to provide a simpler, stronger, and safer material.
Carbon Foam can be used for a variety of different applications, including conventional tooling. Carbon Foam is a very sturdy material - innovations with carbon fiber-reinforced resins create a higher strength-to-weight ratio - therefore providing more stiffness and making tools less susceptible to corrosion.

6. Ship Building
Carbon Foam has the best fire, smoke, and toxicity properties of any lightweight composite core material on the market today, including polymer and pitch based precursors. CarbonFoam has applications in a broad range of markets, including marine building, transportation, and others.
Fire, Smoke, & Toxicity Properties
At CarbonFoam we understand how this revolutionary material works as our products undergo almost all key fire tests including being exposed to a 1650°C acetylene torch. Carbon Foam will not support combustion because it is made from inorganic carbon - the best material available in high-temperature applications.
In relation to marine and shipbuilding applications, when tested in accordance with requirements for commercial and maritime applications by the US Coast Guard and International Maritime Organization, Carbon Foam passed with flying colors. The three metrics that defined testing included combustibility, mass loss, and temperature rise. In contrast, polymer based carbon foams do not pass non-combustibility tests and therefore are not suitable for many marine applications.
CarbonFoam products also performed brilliantly when the material was exposed to successive heat fluxes. The Carbon Foam released no heat, smoke, nor was ignited as is a potential problem with other materials.

7. Thermal Protection
One of the most recognized strengths of Carbon Foam is its thermal and physical properties, as well as unique high temperature properties, making this material idea for thermal protection applications. Carbon Foam can resist melting or softening under extreme heat.
In recent years the need for tougher thermal protection systems has risen. Our mission at CarbonFoam is to provide a variety of designs suitable for thermal protection purposes along with a number of surface coatings.
For short durations, Carbon Foam can withstand extremely high temperatures therefore this material can be applied to a number of TPS (Thermal Protection System) designs. The primary function of TPS is to shield the underlying structure from excessive heat. In comparison, carbon and graphite materials have high emissivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion.
When properly designed, Carbon Foam can be tailored to effectively shield and carry thermal energy away from numerous areas of a craft.
