SiC coated graphite PERMA KOTE™

High-temperature gas-cooled reactors
PERMA KOTE™ is a product created by coating the surface of highly purified isotropic graphite with a fine layer of silicon carbide by means of a proprietary Toyo Tanso Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process.

Characteristics

  • The silicon carbide layer has excellent oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance.
  • The silicon carbide layer is stable at high temperatures and is extremely hard.
  • Prevents the parting and scattering of graphite particles, and the emission of gas and impurities from the graphite substrate.
  • Both the graphite substrate and silicon carbide layer are of high purity.
  • Both the graphite substrate and silicon carbide layer have a high thermal conductivity, and excellent heat distribution properties.
  • Material is designed so that cracks and delamination do not occur.

Application

  • Susceptor for silicon epitaxial growth
  • Single crystal silicon manufacturing equipment
  • MOCVD susceptors
  • Heaters
  • Heat spreaders
  • Oxidation resistance components

Coating Thickness

Coating Thickness
The standard thickness is 120 μm; however this can be modified within a range of 20 to 500 μm.
