Thermal Management Solutions

POCO HTC and POCOFoam are unique, lightweight graphite materials with exceptionally high thermal conductivity that provide an efficient energy transfer rate. These characteristics allow for design flexibility that may radically change future shapes, sizes and locations of some very familiar thermal management systems.  POCO does not make actual devices, we believe that innovation is best accomplished by those who are most familiar with the challenges within their specific industries.

 

POCO HTC is made from a unique forming process that creates a thicker structure that is denser (lower total porosity) and has almost three times the compressive strength of POCOFoam. POCOFoam is still the material of choice for lightweight applications that are encapsulated or where there is no vibration.

 

Shown here is the comparison of the compressive behavior of POCOFoam and POCO HTC. The POCOFoam behavior is typical of foams in general. The POCO HTC is typical of the behavior of porous solids.
