Touchstone Research Laboratory

Touchstone's CFOAM® Carbon Foam is a structural material which is inexpensive, lightweight, fire-resistant, impact-absorbing, thermally insulating or conducting, and whose electrical conductivity can be varied over nine orders of magnitude. CFOAM® Carbon Foam is currently being used or evaluated for a number of applications including composite tooling, rocket motor nozzles, thermal protection systems, lightweight armor, fire-resistant shipboard decking and bulkheads, vehicle firewalls, lightweight mirrors, catalytic converters, fuel cell electrodes, fire blocks, safe rooms, high-temperature insulation, heat exchangers, and more.
