Carbon and graphite felts are basically the non-woven fabrics made from the carbon fiber precursors, such as, polyacrylonitrile (PAN), pitch, and rayon. These non-woven fabrics, when gets passed through various processes such as carbonizing, graphitizing, pressing, and mixing, produces the carbon and graphite felts. Carbon felts and graphite felts are differentiated mainly based on the availability of carbon content. Graphite felt gets made from the purest form of carbon, thus has high carbon content of up to 99%.
