Pitch bonded graphites are among the best known thermal insulators at sub-Kelvin temperatures. At higher temperatures, however, they are good conductors. Graphite supports can therefore be used to allow a relatively rapid cool-down of structures which must be thermally isolated when cold. The low temperature conductivity of graphites varies by many orders of magnitude depending on the manufacturing process. AGOT graphite is known to be a very good insulator, but is no longer commercially available. We suggest a replacement, and present thermal conductivity measurements demonstrating its suitability.
