Default Cold Heat soldering, possible cooling material

I was watching tv today, and saw a commercial for a soldering iron that cools almost instantly. It was the cold heat soldering system. From what i gather., the tips are a form of carbon, which the company calls Athalite. It apearantly will cool from 800 farenheight to be touch safe in seconds. Does anyone know anything about this or its cooling potential? I know graphite is excellent at dispersing heat, but is too brittle to be used. Maybe these people found a way to reduce this factor? Let me know what yall think
