Growing global energy demand and concern for green energy generation has enabled the success of the rapidly growing solar industry. Graphite is the unique material capable of standing up to the high-temperature, chemically aggressive, extreme purity processes involved in polysilicon production and processing.
From polysilicon production through ingot processing, GrafTech offers a complete portfolio of structural and consumable graphite components to all technologies in the industry. They are also readily machined and highly engineered solutions and comprised of Advanced Graphite Materials and GRAFSHIELD™ industrial heat management solutions.
GrafTech's products are differenitated from others in the high temperature processing knowledge which is second to none.
