POCO HTC

Poco Graphite developed this porous graphite grade to have higher thermal properties and higher strength than existing graphitic foam type materials. POCO HTC is a solid material with an open pore structure created without binders. POCO HTC has a lower density than many other thermal management materials such as metals or metal matrix composites. It has two-thirds the thermal conductivity of copper with only one tenth the weight. The combination of open pore structure and dense graphite matrix is a unique combination that should provide high overall heat transfer effectiveness.

 

POCO HTC, still considered in a development stage material, has many applications in the thermal management field. It features:

  • Sound adsorption capability
  • RF Shielding capability
  • Chemically inert material

Proposed Applications for POCO HTC

These are some of the applications that are currently being investigated:

  • Heat sinks
  • Heat exchangers
  • Evaporative cooling substrates
  • Thermal structures
