CFOAM® carbon foam is an incredibly versatile product produced from pulverized coal. CFOAM® carbon foams are extremely strong, fire proof, and can be customized to achieve a number of properties. This amazing product can be used in any number of applications, including composite tooling, heat transport, and blast protection systems. Produced in panels 97 cm x 46 cm x 5+ cm (38” x 18” x 2+”), CFOAM® carbon foams have the following properties:

• Compatible with virtually any adhesive or composite system
• Energy-absorbing for crash mitigation, insensitive munitions or lightweight armor
• Can conduct heat as well as aluminum at just 1/5^th the weight
• Excellent insulator even at very high temperatures
• Easily machined very quickly using very durable inexpensive diamond tooling
• The coefficient of thermal expansion is very low and matches carbon fiber composite materials very well
• Non-combustible material that acts as an excellent firewall or fireproof door for aircraft, ships or buildings
• Very strong at low densities makes it an excellent candidate for use in many markets
• Useful for absorbing low frequency vibrations from internal combustion engines
• Manufactured as either a thermal insulator or thermal conductor with a range of thermal conductivity from 0.1 W/m-K to over 200 W/m-K
• CFOAM® is produced in a very “green” manner; there is no burning of coal and the carbon footprint from the production is very small
