pyrolytic
Broken by heat
Pyrolytic describes processes or materials involving pyrolysis—chemical decomposition caused by high heat.
Pyrolytic ovens use extreme temperatures to burn off food residue, reducing it to ash.
Pyrolytic carbon is produced through heat-driven breakdown of hydrocarbons.
The term appears in materials science, manufacturing, and appliance marketing.
