Expandable Graphite

The principal raw material for the expandable graphite is a high quality crystalline flake graphite. Expandable graphite belongs to a group of products called intumescents. The main property of intumescents is their ability to expand when heated.

Applications: i) additive in plastic and bituminous roofing membranes; ii) used in the manufacture of high performance seating foam; iii) in speciallised steel production, it acts as exfoliating media in hot topping compounds; iv) the finer grades can be used as exothermic powder covering in foundry coating applications. v) intumescent coating and sealing materials.
