Trust in Goodfellow
We understand that Research and Development often have a unique set of needs when it comes to materials sourcing. Whether you are working on small scale or want a bespoke solution, having over 75 years of experience working as an international materials supplier, Goodfellow has the logistics network and know-how to deliver your products in record time.
We provide over 170,000 high-quality advanced materials, globally, with no minimum order value and can support small batch sizes.
For customers who need custom product solutions, we can support across all project phases, and if intellectual property and confidentiality concerns are a consideration, we have experience working within research collaboration agreements.
Materials Categories
Our product range includes many different materials, categories and types. From polymers to metals to nanoparticles, to rods, foils, films and sheets, even premanufactured parts such as metal fastening and crucibles for evaporation are available.
But, if you need components from custom materials that you cannot machine in your own facilities, no problem, we can help.
Our Product Range
At Goodfellow, we offer a comprehensive range of high-purity materials relevant to your applications, including:
Providing You With Peace of Mind - Eliminating Your Risks
Crucial for research and development, Goodfellow is cautious when it comes to ensuring that any materials being sold are fully characterized.
Goodfellow will provide full materials data sheets for many materials, with information including details on the natural isotope distribution, the mechanical properties where appropriate, and the physical and thermal properties.
This means more efficient work for you as you know exactly what materials you are getting, and there are no risks of any material underperforming or being unsuitable for use in terms of its mechanical properties.
Our catalog of products covers a range of materials, categories and types
From polymers to metals to nanoparticles, Goodfellow will have an off-the-shelf or custom solution to suit whatever your material needs.
For Optical Materials
Goodfellow offers custom sizes of optical materials such as sapphire and silicon as well as their standard off-the-shelf components.
If process spectroscopic measurements are to be used on chemical mixtures, quartz, and borosilicate glass tubes may be worth considering as they have good transparency to most wavelengths in the visible and ultraviolet.
For Chemical Etching of Glass and Electronics
Polytetrafluoroethylene coated glass fabric, which has outstanding resistance to hydrogen fluoride, may be of interest to research groups that perform a lot of chemical etching of glass and electronic components or need to be able to form super clean surfaces for later material growth.
For Vacuum Applications
For vacuum applications where transparent windows are required, Goodfellow can offer quartz windows or fabricated windows from any of its optical material range.
These windows are rated to withstand high vacuum environments and provide good transparency for any measurements taken within the vacuum chamber.
For General Labs
Materials that may be of interest for more general laboratory settings include ceramic and refractory metal crucibles for heating samples. Such crucibles are suitable for use at very high temperatures ( > 800°C) or also under vacuum conditions with very low outgassing rates.
Vacuum science applications may benefit from using Kapton®, available in easy-to-use tape form for insulating electrical components in vacuum chambers.
Where there are high heat loads or parts that need to be machined, a glass ceramic material Macor® may be an appropriate choice.
Macor® offers excellent thermal stability and very low outgassing.
For Gasket Materials, Heat Exchanger Blocks, and X-Ray
Materials scientists may be interested in the opportunities offered by carbon films, foils and sheets or graphite foils.
These are non-porous, self-lubricating and lightweight materials that offer excellent thermal shock resistance.
Such films, foils and sheets can be used as gasket materials, heat exchanger blocks, and in X-Ray applications as a Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) variant of the material offers outstanding X-Ray and neutron diffraction, making it an ideal sample for testing and set-up.
