Introducing the five excellent properties of graphite, starting with "lubricity," and their applications!
Ito Graphite Industry Co., Ltd. has been pursuing new possibilities of graphite for over 70 years as a manufacturer of graphite powder. Graphite has five excellent properties: "lubricity," "electrical conductivity," "thermal conductivity," "heat resistance," and "chemical resistance," and is used in various applications such as pencil leads and sealants. 【Five Excellent Properties of Graphite】 <Lubricity> - Used as a lubricant or release agent, especially in high-temperature and high-load environments. - The layers of flaky graphite are easily peeled off, due to their complete cleavage in the horizontal direction. <Electrical Conductivity> - Less prone to oxidation compared to copper and more affordable than silver and gold, making it widely used. <Thermal Conductivity> - Exhibits excellent thermal conductivity because the mechanism of heat transfer is similar to that of electricity. <Heat Resistance> - Oxidation begins at about 500°C in an oxidizing atmosphere, but remains stable up to 3500°C in a reducing atmosphere. <Chemical Resistance> - Stable against both acids and alkalis. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
