At Thermic Edge, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the vacuum furnace industry. Providing a complete service, our bespoke versatile ranges gives you the tools necessary for any application. One of our main areas of expertise is heating to high temperatures (up to 1200C+) in O2 environments. To achieve this, we use SiC coated graphite elements, which we previously bought from companies in the USA and Europe. Supply of these products has always been problematic, with us having to endure high prices and long lead times, from these foreign suppliers. In January this year, we opened our own SiC coating facility in Scotland, called Thermic Edge Coatings Ltd. We can now produce our own SiC coated graphite elements, and offer SiC coated graphite components, such as elements, susceptors and wafer holders. Our aim is to be the number one heater supplier in the world, for in vacuum sample heating. The launch of our new versatile heater range, will enable us to take this position with a standard product range. This range will have the best performance, for the most cost effective price, with a short lead time and a superb customer support record.
