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.
