Pyrolytic Carbon is a special type of graphite electrode. More specifically, graphite surface is CVD-coated (CVD is chemical vapor deposition) to remove all the undesired behavior of graphite electrode like absorbing organic material. Also, due to this surface treatment, the reactivity is changed too. It displays similar reactivity as glassy carbon and RVC. And pyrolytic carbon is more accessible than glassy carbon; pyrolytic carbon is more mechanically robust than RVC, which makes it more reusable in discovery reactions and upscaling more feasible.

Color variance may be expected as the response to atmospheric exposure. Please be informed that coloration does not affect electrode performance.
