Graphite Products

Graphite has a wide range of applications in the modern world, especially in clean energy applications and building materials.

Lithium-Ion Batteries

Graphite is used in large batteries for electric vehicles as well as the current generation of electrodes.
   

Construction Materials

Graphite is a form of carbon that shows versatile properties when incorporated in building materials.
   

Fire Resistant Insulation

Graphite material, particularly graphite dust, is one of the most effective substances used to smother and extinguish a magnesium fire.

Graphene

Graphene is the thinnest, yet incredibly strong material - about 200 times stronger than steel. Graphene is an excellent conductor of electricity.
  

Applications

Portable Energy

Alkaline Batteries, Lithium Ion Batteries, Fuel Cells, Carbon Zinc Batteries

Metallurgy

Carbon Raisers, Carbon Additives for Specialty Steel
 

Refractory

Monolithic, Magnesia Carbon, Alumina Carbon, Crucible, Continuous Casting

Components

Carbon Brushes, Brake Pads, Powder Metallurgy, Foils, Graphite Foil, Pencil
