Mesophase Pitch Supplier for Carbon Fiber, C/C Composites & Impregnation
Mesophase pitch is a precursor material for high-performance carbon materials. It exhibits optical anisotropy, easy graphitization and high oxidation activity. This material is crucial for producing high-performance carbon fibers, which are key in aerospace and automotive industries due to their strength and stiffness. Besides carbon fibers, mesophase pitch is used in making needle coke for electrodes, porous carbon, carbon microbeads, and foam, as well as components for refractories, energy storage, and supercapacitors. Its versatility and superior material properties make mesophase pitch a valuable resource in advanced industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes mesophase pitch different from isotropic pitch?
Mesophase pitch possesses a liquid crystal (anisotropic) structure, which allows it to be converted into highly oriented graphitic materials. This results in superior thermal conductivity and mechanical properties compared to materials derived from isotropic pitch, which has a random, disordered structure.
What is the price of mesophase pitch?
Pricing of mesophase pitch depends on raw materials, purity, and scale, and we’ve published an article explaining this 👉 Key Parameters Affecting the Price of Mesophase Pitch.
