Soft felts made of carbon fibers are versatile insulation materials specifically designed for high-temperature applications in inert or vacuum environments. These felts are created through a production process known as needling, which ensures their stability right from the initial manufacturing stage. This stability is maintained throughout subsequent high-temperature processes.
One of the key advantages of soft felts is their low thermal conductivity when it comes to meeting the maximum requirements for insulation properties. It is ideal for insulating resistance-heated and induction-heated vacuum furnaces and furnaces with an inert gas atmosphere.
Also its controlled inner structure, which makes them suitable for use in energy storage systems like redox-flow batteries. The felts' unique composition and manufacturing process result in a material with excellent electrical conductivity. This electrical conductivity, combined with their controlled inner structure, makes soft felts ideal for applications in energy storage, where they can facilitate efficient charge and discharge processes.
