01 /Applications

Electrode Material

Due to its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, graphite is extensively used as an electrode material in applications such as electrochemistry, arc furnaces, and batteries.

Lubricant

Graphite's layered structure allows its layers to slide easily over each other, making it an effective dry lubricant for various mechanical components, especially in high-temperature or vacuum environments.

Refractory Material

Its exceptionally high melting point and chemical inertness make graphite a crucial component in refractory materials for high-temperature industrial processes like furnace linings and crucibles.

Moderator in Nuclear Reactors

High-purity graphite is used as a neutron moderator in certain types of nuclear reactors, slowing down fast neutrons to increase the likelihood of nuclear fission.

Component in Advanced Materials

Graphite serves as a foundational material for advanced carbon-based products, including composites, graphene, and carbon fibres, utilised in aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods.
