Welcome to Aritech® RVC, Hydrothermal Autoclaves & Other Metal Foams Website

Vitreous or Glassy carbon is a form of pure carbon produced by the thermal decomposition of a three-dimensionally crosslinked polymer. Reticulated Vitreous Carbon Foam (RVC Foam) has a high flexural strength. The zero open porosity gives a low permeability to gases. Glassy carbon has excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemical environments and can, therefore, RVC Foams be used as an alternative material to precious metals for laboratory equipment and, for example, for electrodes in polarography.

RVC Foams

Vitreous Carbon Foam is low-density permeable material with numerous applications. The defining characteristic of these foams is very high porosity, typically 75-95% of the volume consisting of void spaces. Ceramic foam is often used for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, adsorption of environmental pollutants, filtration of molten metal alloys, and as a substrate for catalysts requiring large internal surface area. Vitreous Carbon Foam is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information are available.
