Overview of Graphite

Graphite is a naturally occurring crystalline form of carbon widely used in refractories, lubricants, batteries, foundry applications, metallurgy, and speciality industrial manufacturing. It is known for its layered structure, which gives graphite excellent thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and lubricating properties. Due to these characteristics, graphite is a critical material in high-temperature and high-performance industrial environments.

In appearance, Graphite is typically a black to dark grey powder or flakes with a metallic sheen. It is chemically inert under most conditions, has a very high melting point, and offers outstanding resistance to heat and chemical attack. These properties make graphite indispensable in demanding industrial applications.
