Graphite for industrial use is a synthetic material derived from crystalline carbon. During manufacturing, graphite is extruded into various shapes, such as blocks and rounds. The production process can be adjusted to impart specific properties to the graphite, including hardness, porosity, and thermal conductivity.

Graphite’s exceptional thermal resistance and conductivity make it ideal for applications involving rapid heating, such as automobile brake pads. Its high heat tolerance and near non-porous nature also make it suitable for various casting and refractory applications, including crucibles and ladle coatings.
