1.Graphite is carbon crystal and nonmetal material with thecharacteristics of soft texture, metal luster, Mohshardness 1~2, specific gravity 2.2~2.3, volumetric weight 1.5~1.8and with high melting point. 2.It is known as excellent thermal and electricalconductivity, which is twice that of carbon steel and 100times that of most nonmetal materials. It is also excellentlubrication and plasticity.
3.With stable chemical properties and corrosions resistanceof acid, alkali and organic solvent, graphite has been widelyused in modern industries as the fireproofmaterial, electric conducting material, antifrictionmaterial, in foundry, during molding, pressing die and hightemp metallurgy, and with the function to prevent scale frombuildup in boilers.
4.In addition, graphite can prevent rusts on metal chimney,building roof, bridge and pipeline.
It can be used as pencil core, pigment and polishing agent.After special treatment, graphite is used in some industries asimpervious graphite.
