Graphite Powder from Manufacturers: A Widely Used Industrial Material

Graphite powder from manufacturers is a widely used industrial material. It is produced by grinding and sieving high-purity graphite. The types of graphite powder are mainly classified by particle size, ranging from 50 mesh to 30,000 mesh. The higher the mesh number, the finer the particle size and the higher the price. Previously, due to technical limitations, high-grade graphite powder had to be imported. However, with the introduction of advanced grinding machines from overseas, Chinese manufacturing enterprises can now produce ultra-fine graphite powder, which is used in many industries both domestically and internationally.

Types and Applications of Graphite Powder:

1. Types of Graphite Powder:
   • Lubricating Graphite Powder

• Anti-corrosive conductive powder
• Conductive coatings and printing inks
• Graphite sheets for CPU heat sinks
• Precision casting coatings and release agents

High-Purity Ultra-Fine Graphite Powder:

High-purity ultra-fine graphite powder includes colloidal graphite powder with specifications like: – 001 grade – 01 grade – 1 grade

Technical parameters include: – Particle sizes from —100 mesh to —12000 mesh – Ultra-fine particle sizes like 10um, 5um, 3um, 2um, and 1um

Applications of Ultra-Fine Graphite Powder:

• Special pens
• Powder metallurgy
• Lubricating oil and grease
• Dry batteries
• Conductive coatings and lubricants
• Research and development in defense and aerospace
• Civilian power supply
• Strategic power engineering and military equipment

Characteristics of Graphite Powder:

• Appearance: Black hexagonal crystalline structure with a metallic sheen, feels slippery.
• Properties: High permeability, non-adhesive, and with a density and hardness suitable for various applications.
• Oxidation: Begins to oxidize at 450°C.
• Inertness: Non-reactive at room temperature, can only be oxidized by concentrated sulfuric acid or potassium chlorate.
• Thermal Properties: Absorbs carbon dioxide at 420°C, losing luster and conductivity.
• Chemical Resistance: High resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents, maintaining excellent heat resistance and conductivity.
• Lubrication: Excellent lubricating properties, although this can be lost in a vacuum environment.

Graphite powder is thus an indispensable material in various industrial sectors due to its unique properties and versatility.
