Carbon and Graphene
Like our customers, Harper is perpetually on the cutting edge of our industry. Both academic and industrial organizations trust Harper International for high performing thermal processing equipment, including our high temperature kilns, furnaces, and ovens for developing advanced materials like Graphene, Activated Carbon, Carbon Gel, and other advanced carbon materials in controlled and specialty atmospheric environments and at temperatures from 300 to 3000°C.
Graphene is an exciting new material that presents extraordinary possibilities for advancements in electronics, batteries, medical applications, and more. As the market evolves and matures, Harper aims to be a partner to the industry, supporting the optimization and refinement of process parameters that ensure capacity and quality requirements are achieved throughout the scale up and commercialization stages.
At our own on site Technology Research Center, customers can utilize Harper’s multiple furnace systems and tap into the expertise of our team for their process development and process optimization. This approach helps de-risk and ensure the process is fully refined for commercial scale-up prior to investment in production scale thermal processing equipment. Harper also provides a variety of additional analytical services such as gas analysis (critical to ensuring compliance with environmental regulations) electron microscopy, XRD, BET, and other thermal and elemental analysis, to support customer’s expanded needs.
