About Natural Graphite

Natural graphite is incredibly versatile

  • Raw form is a mineral contained in rock
  • Finished material is purified and formed
  • High degree of chemical compatibility,
    inert to most chemicals and gases

Contains no hazardous materials

Natural Graphite is Anisotropic

  • Anisotropy (not isotropic) is the property of being directionally dependent.
  • Due to the graphite crystal structure, natural graphite maintains different physcial properties in different directions
  • High in-plane thermal conductivity
  • Lower through-thickness thermal conductivity

Carbon Footprint

Natural graphite has a substantially lower carbon footprint for both CO2 emissions and energy compared to aluminum or copper.
