VIGOUR at Carbontech 2025>> Leads the new development of carbon materials industry
The Carbontech 2025 Exhibition concluded successfully on December 11th. As an innovator in industrial fluid control, VIGOUR understands that in the future-leading industry of high-end carbon materials, every technological breakthrough relies on the reliable support of fundamental components.
At this exhibition, VIGOUR focused on a core aspect of carbon material production-high-precision, high-reliability industrial gas pressure control-showcasing to the industry how our cutting-edge gas pressure reducing valve technology safeguards the research and mass production of carbon materials.
Carbon Materials
The preparation process of carbon materials, especially advanced materials such as high-performance graphite, carbon fiber composites, carbon nanotubes, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond, is closely related to industrial gases. From hydrocarbon gases as raw materials, to hydrogen, nitrogen, and argon as protective or reactive gases, and then to oxygen and helium required for special processes, the purity, pressure, and flow rate stability of the gases directly determine the crystal structure, density, purity, and performance of the final product.
Carbontech 2025
In the production of carbon fiber, the compression process of liquefied natural gas (LNG) related systems, and processes involving industrial gases such as ethylene and propylene, the reliability and energy efficiency of compressor valves are directly related to the continuity and economy of production.
The industry faces several pain points: Reliability requirements under harsh operating conditions:
Production processes often involve high-temperature (above 210°C), low-temperature (down to -200°C in cryogenic applications), high-pressure, and corrosive media environments, demanding that pressure-reducing valves possess exceptional resilience.
Extreme pursuit of purity and cleanliness
Even trace amounts of grease contamination or metal particle abrasion can have catastrophic effects on high-purity carbon materials, requiring valve materials with excellent anti-contamination and low-exudation characteristics.
Pressure regarding energy efficiency and maintenance costs
Gas compression is a significant energy-consuming process, and valve pressure loss directly impacts system energy efficiency. Simultaneously, frequent downtime for maintenance severely hinders the efficiency and cost of continuous production.

VIGOUR products provide reliable control over the diverse gas types used in the carbon materials industry, from inert protective gases to active process reaction gases, and even special gases such as hydrogen and oxygen. Our valves utilize advanced materials such as 316L stainless steel and Hastelloy diaphragms, enabling them to withstand corrosive gases and harsh environments, ensuring safe and stable operation across a wide pressure range.
- Committed to Purity Assurance and Precise Control:
VIGOUR's pressure reducing valve design understands the importance of purity for high-end materials. By employing a special combination of valve seat and diaphragm materials, along with precise manufacturing processes, we effectively reduce the risk of contaminant release from within the valve, ensuring the cleanliness of the transported gas. Meanwhile, the product provides highly stable outlet pressure and allows for easy and precise pressure setting and limiting via handwheels, providing a reliable pressure benchmark for every stage of carbon material preparation.
- Flexible Configuration and High Applicability:
Understanding the diverse needs from R&D to production, VIGOUR products offer flexible port configuration options to adapt to various piping systems and experimental setups. Their design balances the laboratory's need for compactness and multifunctionality with the industrial production's requirements for durability and reliability. Typical applications cover multiple stages, including component testing, laboratory pressure control, and high-pressure sampling systems, perfectly connecting the innovation and production chains of the carbon materials industry.
