Graphite can be many many things, soft or strong, heat conductive or heat resistant, lubricious or abrasive. It is a one of the most useful of materials and is employed in nearly every major industry.
Graphite products take many forms from fine powders to chunks, flakes and granules. It can be glossy or matte, black or grey, smooth or rough. It is mined as a natural product or created as a synthetic material.
-Graphite is used as a carbon source in metal manufacture and pencils and in the ceramic industry large amounts of graphite are used in the production of silicon carbide.
-Its electrical conductivity make it valuable in electrodes, conductive plastics and coatings
-Its lubricity make it useful in release agents, greases, film coatings, seals, powder metal parts
-Its friction modifier properties make it useful in brake linings, clutch facings, coatings
-Its thermal conductivity make it useful in refractory brick and plastics, crucibles, core and mold coatings
-Its chemical inertness make it useful in rubber packings and seals, ceramic seals, catalysts

The future of ceramic recipe, material and physical testing record keeping is here.
Maintain your recipe database on-line
- Login to a private account or work with others in a group account (e.g. university).
- Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
- Easy to import your existing data.
- As many side-by-side recipes as you want.
- Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
- Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, unlimited pictures with individual titles and descriptions.
- Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
- Recipes can link to typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
- Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
- Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
- It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).
Imports many file formats
- Glaze recipe formats supported: HyperGlaze, GlazeGhem, GlazeMaster, Matrix, INSIGHT XML recipes (single and multiple), INSIGHT SQLite DB files.
- Assign a batch number to imports, and later search by batch.
- Assign multiple typecodes to imported glaze and body batches (to classify) and search on these later.
- Prepend character sequences to glaze recipe names during import.
- Import the pictures and pair them to their corresponding records automatically.
- One click to automatically export the database to an SQLite DB database file and download it (for use with desktop INSIGHT or just as a backup).
- Export and import individual glaze recipes as text or XML.
Perfect for Education
- Ceramic study programs can now accumulate material, recipe and testing data year-after-year, students can login and together build a valuable ceramic glaze and body knowledge resource.
- Students already have internet connected devices, computers are not even needed in the class.
- The Reference Manager gives you quick access to the Digitalfire Ceramic Reference Database.
