    The development prospects of the flake graphite industry are very promising because it brings many benefits to enterprises during use, so it is highly favored by customers. In order to make everyone more familiar with it, let's now talk about the relevant information of flake graphite? I hope to bring help to more people.




    Nowadays, many people are not familiar with some basic information about flake graphite. Therefore, as manufacturers, it is necessary for us to briefly explain that flake graphite is a natural crystalline graphite, shaped like fish phosphorus, belonging to the hexagonal crystal system with a layered structure. Now it is also a natural solid lubricant with a layered structure, abundant in resources, and low in price. This product has the characteristics of complete crystallization, good toughness of thin plates, excellent physical and chemical properties, thermal conductivity, conductivity, thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. It is widely used in refractory materials and coatings in the metallurgical industry, such as magnesia carbon bricks, crucibles, etc. Stabilizers for pyrotechnic materials in the military industry, desulfurization promoters in the smelting industry, pencil leads in the light industry, carbon brushes in the electrical industry, electrodes in the battery industry, catalysts in the fertilizer industry, etc. The flake graphite can be further processed to produce graphite emulsion, which is used for lubricants, release agents, drawing agents, conductive coatings, etc. Expanded graphite can also be produced as a raw material for flexible graphite products, such as flexible graphite seals and flexible products.




    As a functional filler in coatings, flake graphite is mainly used for anti-corrosion, fireproof, and conductive coatings. The product is now used as an anti-corrosion material. Flake graphite is an anti rust primer made of carbon black, talc powder, and oil, which has good resistance to chemicals and solvents. If chemical pigments such as zinc yellow are added to the formula, its anti-corrosion and rust prevention effect is better. Generally speaking, expandable graphite is used as a fireproof filler. It is a graphite interlayer compound obtained from natural graphite sheets through chemical or electrochemical treatment. Ordinary expandable graphite rapidly expands in volume under heating conditions (up to 300 times), suffocating flames. Of course, expanding materials will also be generated to isolate flames, delay or interrupt the spread of flames, and they are not flammable and have good elasticity, high surface energy, and strong carbonization layer. Flake graphite can be directly used as carbon based conductive filler or made into composite conductive filler for conductive coatings. As our flagship product, we appreciate the strong support of our new and old customers. While ensuring the reliability of product quality, we also benefit our customers. If you have any technical questions about the product, you can always come here for consultation.

    Common preparation methods for expandable graphite

    1. Chemical intercalation method: the initial raw material for preparation is high carbon flake graphite, and other chemical reagents such as concentrated sulfuric acid (more than 98%), hydrogen peroxide (more than 28%), Potassium permanganate, etc. use industrial grade reagents. The general steps for preparation are as follows: under appropriate temperature, hydrogen peroxide solution with different ratios, natural flake graphite and concentrated sulfuric acid are added in different procedures, and reacted for a certain time under constant agitation, and then washed with water to neutral, Centrifuge separation, dehydrate and vacuum dry at 60 ℃.2. Electrochemical method: Treating graphite powder in a strong acid electrolyte to produce expandable graphite, hydrolyzing, cleaning, and drying. As a strong acid, sulfuric acid or nitric acid is mainly used. This method produces expandable graphite with low sulfur content.3. Ultrasonic oxidation method: In the process of preparing expandable
