With a history of applications in the manufacturing of plasma etching cathodes and ion grids for the electrical trade and in the manufacturing of rocket nozzles in the aerospace industry, pyrolytic graphite is now gaining use in the glass plant. Most common uses are as dies and forming tools that shape semi-molten glass, but new applications are being researched. Stemware, container glass and speciality glass makers are discovering better results when forming with pyrolytic graphite.
