2. GrafMat
GrafMat is the primary material manufactured and distributed by
FiberGraf Materials Llc.. This material, engineered for composite
enhancement, is offered in particle sizes ranging from 5 to 250
microns and material densities from 1.76 to 2.0 g/cc. These
designations are average particle lengths in microns.

3. How it’s made
GrafMat is manufactured by encapsulating a
high grade carbon fiber in a proprietary resin
system, then heat treating. This process ensu
res the resulting product to have material de
nsities 1.76 g/cc to 2.0g/cc.
After several proprietary operations the billet
is then reduced and graded into particle size
s.
Custom particle sizes can be special ordered
to meet engineering needs.

4. This chart shows the behavioral effect of adding GrafMat
to a composite. The Z axis is drastically altered
effectively increasing the surface conductivity.

7. Method and Conclusions
All data collected from samples compounded at 40%
additive to 60% nylon 66.
Subjects A & B are two of the industries leading
carbon fiber thermal additives at 200 microns in
length
This evaluation was conducted by applying a 400F
heat source directly to sample and tracking heat flow
over 10 minutes in X,Y and Z axis.
Real world testing has proven thermal benefit from
the addition of GrafMat.
An obvious reduction in directionality is noticed in
both chart form and image.
Competition cost for sample A@ $29lb and sample
B@ $80lb GrafMat@ $13lb in production volumes
8. This evaluation shows the behaviors of three loading
options compared to commercially available compounds for
thermal conductivity. Again providing superior Z axis
conductivity.

9. Method and Conclusions
Data collected in this experiment is
designed to compare two leading
compounds for the molding industry to
three loading options with GrafMat.
The polymer used in this test is PPS.
This evaluation temperature was 450F
Medium to large particle GrafMat
compounded exhibits superior behavior in
the Z axis than industry standard material
