“The properties of graphite are resulting from its hexagonal crystalline structure.“
All these properties can combine in various degrees, resulting in a variety of natural graphite types. It is basically the degree of crystallization and the content of natural impurities, which determine the properties of the various forms of natural and synthetic graphite. In order to choose the most suitable graphite quality for a special application, in-depth knowledge of the different characteristics of graphite is essential.
Our company’s practical experience and materials know-how, accumulated and continuously improved since 1832, allow us to offer an extensive variety of graphite types with defined levels of impurities and grain sizes. This results in a line of products which are fitting best the individual customer’s requirements.
Endless Possibilities
Natural mineral graphite is very heat conductive and thermal diffusive. It has many favourable qualities and is an environmentally friendly raw material that is used for leads, recarburizers, coatings, refractory products, lubricants and in the powder metallurgy industry. Besides that it is used for fire resistant products, radiation control, various plastics, UV absorbers, gaskets as well as special additives for colours and finishes. We offer a huge range of products. Please feel free to contact us any time for further information!
