Crystalline Flake Graphite

Description: 80-98% carbon

Notes

This is the most anisotropic of natural graphites, it has excellent parting ability and heat conductivity.

The flakes are thought to be centers of crystalline growth in rich organic shales or limestone which were activated by pressure and heat. Flake graphites are selected for properties such as size, carbon content, softness, heat resistance, alkalinity.

Used for refractories, lubricants, coatings, pencils.
Available in 10 mesh to 10 microns.
