Glassy carbon plate, 1mm (0.04in) thick, type 2
Description
Used in casting, smelting of metal, hard alloy, powder and glass. Glassy carbon plate is widely used as an electrode material in electrochemistry, for high temperature crucibles and as a part of some prosthetic devices. It also used in solar energy applications. It offers high purity, corrosion resistance, thermal stability and a structure impermeable to both gases and liquids.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Type 1 is a "low temperature" glassy carbon produced by heat treatment at ~ 1,000-2,000°C and consists of discreet fragments of distorted graphene layers. In general, type 1 is less compressible, more resistant to oxidation, and less permeable to gasses. Type 2 is a"high temperature" glassy carbon produced by heat treatment at ~2,500-3,000°C and consists of broken or imperfect fullerene-like nanospheroids encased in a disordered, multilayered graphene matrix. Type 2 usually contains fewer impurities and has higher electrical and thermal conductivity.
