high purity graphite powder is used for the manufacture of crucibles, lubricants, stove polish, “lead” pencils, electrodes, brake linings, batteries, glass manufacturing, conductive coatings and for foundry facings. It is also used in the synthesis of single sheet graphene nanoflakes and graphite based magnetorheological elastomers.
Graphite powder is produced by processing selected natural graphite with a proprietary special refining process. It possesses superior electrical conductivity and excellent lubricity.
The chemical stability of high purity graphite powder is good at room temperature. It resists acid, alkali, and organic solvent corrosion. It is also resistant to thermal shock.
It is an excellent dry lubricant, which can protect surfaces from friction and related damage. It is ideal for sintering, casting, and metal forming.
Besides, high-purity graphite powder has good thermal shock resistance. It is widely used in batteries and refractories, where it can protect the products from cracking.
The thermal conductivity of high-purity graphite powder is 100 times greater than that of general non-metallic minerals. It is also an excellent insulator at extremely high temperatures.
The global high purity graphite powder market is expected to witness significant growth over the next few years. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.5% during the period 2017-2022. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global high purity graphite powder market, with detailed segmentation by product type, application and region (country). The market size and forecast are provided in terms of USD millions during the period from 2017 to 2022.
