• FutureCarbon specializes in

development and manufacture of carbon nanomaterials and their

refinement into carbon super-composites* with unique electrical, mechanical and thermal properties as

pre-products for industrial further processing or final products.

• Our core competency is the translation of the exeptional properties of Carbon Nanomaterials on the nanoscale into the macroscopic world of real applications.

• All of our materials are manufactured on an industrial scale.

*Carbon supercomposites are composite materials that evolve the special properties of carbon nanomaterials in the macroscopic world of real applications. FutureCarbon is the leading supplier of such supercomposites.

Carbo e-Therm is a high-efficiency, electrically heated coating developed for use in the non-hazardous low-voltage range. Its excellent applicability to very different geometries and surfaces plus high heating power open up a wide field of possible uses.

• for temperatures up to 600°C • heating of surface geometries of any shape • very easy to apply • extremely high electrical safety by working on non-hazardous low voltage, • direct use of low-voltage sources (e.g. 12/24V onboard, solar power), • very simple electrical connection, • easy supervision and control, • high heating power for low supply voltage, • perfectly even heating of large surface areas without hot spots, • very attractively priced compared to conventional heating systems.
