The Pyrogenics Group is the technological leader in the production of engineered carbon based products for key industries requiring innovative material solutions.

Over the years FIREX™ coatings have been utilized in numerous applications requiring fire and thermal protection. Those applications include ships, tanks, military vehicles, shelters, aircraft, and space vehicles and are especially protective in a jet fuel environment. Now they are available for chemical, oil and gas, and other applications.

Heat is the enemy of electronic circuits and devices. It limits performance and leads to premature failure. This presentation introduces a new weapon in the ongoing battle against thermal problems. Discover how the heat spreading ability of a new material solution - Pyroid® HT ® cuts size, weight, and cost from electronics packaging

Key Take-Aways

Discover a thermal management material solution that provides "diamond like" thermal conduction without the "diamond" price

Understand why Pyroid® HT material solutions are ideal for high-volume production and provide economic value at the device assembly level

Learn how to optimize heat sinks and spreaders with the Pyroid® HT software modeling tool

With heat issues starting to limit power device performance and growth, we have developed a derivative of our material branded as Pyroid® HT Pyrolytic Graphite material that offers heat spreaders and sink thermal conductivity up to 4 times (1700 W/m°K) that of copper at only a quarter of the weight. This "diamond like" conduction without the "diamond" price tag makes our material ideal for pulling heat out normal to a heat producing device as well as spreading it away. This dual action eliminates the need for special "hot spot" thermal vias.

The Analytical Services Group functions as both a service organization and a research facility engaged in developing new and improved analytical methods.

Pyroid® HT pyrolytic graphite thermal spreaders and thermal vias are a powerful new material solution in the battle against thermal heat in state-of-the-art electronic circuits and devices.

An engineering challenge that designers sometimes face when dealing with pyrolytic graphite applications is what is the best way to attach the material to structures?
