Porocarb® Products

Northern Graphite holds the exclusive license to develop, produce, and sell Porocarb® — a synthetic, high-performance porous hard carbon material developed over the last 10 years and patented by Heraeus.

Porocarb® features a well-defined network of interconnected macropores, enabling selective filtration through tailored pore sizes, enhanced reactions by increasing interaction surfaces, and faster kinetics due to optimized transport pathways. Its (electro-)chemical stability ensures durability, making it ideal for advanced applications requiring robust hard carbon materials.

This unique structure, combined with Porocarb®’s mechanically stable backbone, allows for extensive customization of its pore architecture. This adaptability provides significant benefits, improving efficiency and performance across various industrial and technological applications.

Our Porocarb® product portfolio includes a range of grades, enabling tailored solutions for your specific application needs.

Porocarb® is an innovative platform of synthetic macro-porous carbon materials designed to enhance performance across a diverse range of industries. Each Porocarb® particle features a precisely engineered network of interconnected macro-pores, which can be filled with liquids, gases, or solids. These pores serve as reservoirs, transport pathways, filters, or anchor points, making Porocarb® a versatile solution for advanced material applications.
