Natural Flake Graphite

It is a form of naturally occurring crystalline carbon renowned for its distinctive flaky morphology and remarkable properties. Sourced directly from select graphite mine and subjected to rigorous purification and processing for particle size, this graphite variant stands out for its electrical and thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistance, and chemical inertness.

Natural Flake Graphite Unique Properties

It is classified by carbon content; for example, 99.9% C% is high-purity graphite; 94% C% < 99% is high-carbon graphite; 80% C% < 94% is medium-carbon graphite; 50% C% < 80% is low-carbon graphite.

The conductivity of flake graphite has long been used in industry, and carbon anode materials play an oxidative role in batteries in the cathode material industry. Lubricating performance is also better; the more significant the scale, the smaller the coefficient of friction. Flake graphite is a super material in the chemical industry. 

In manufacturing, it is used to lubricate various arts, including gears, bearings, slides other moving parts. Then reduce friction and increase the efficiency of the machine. It also acts as a lubricant for steam engines and internal combustion engines.

Another use is manufacturing metal smelting crucibles and various refractory products for metallurgical furnaces. It is the main raw material for making brushes and mechanical carbon, and can also be used to produce graphite electrodes.
