Overview
High purity flake graphite powder is derived from naturally occurring crystalline graphite, processed to achieve carbon content exceeding 99.9%. Unlike amorphous graphite, its layered hexagonal structure provides exceptional anisotropy, making it ideal for specialized industrial applications. The material's value stems from its unique combination of properties: it conducts electricity and heat efficiently while remaining chemically stable at high temperatures. These characteristics have made it indispensable in sectors ranging from energy storage to metallurgy.
Physical and Chemical Properties
The material exhibits perfect basal cleavage, allowing flakes to slide easily over one another—a property that grants superior lubricity. Its thermal conductivity reaches approximately 400 W/mK in-plane, while electrical resistivity can be as low as 40 μΩ·cm. Chemically, it resists attack from most acids (except strong oxidizers) and maintains stability up to 700°C in air. The powder's angle of repose typically ranges between 30-45°, affecting its flow characteristics in industrial processes.
Main Applications
In lithium-ion batteries, the powder serves as the dominant anode material due to its intercalation capacity and cycle stability. Battery-grade powders require precise control of particle size (commonly 10-30μm) and minimal metal impurities (<50ppm). The refractory industry utilizes it for crucibles and molds, where its thermal shock resistance outperforms synthetic alternatives. Additional uses include conductive fillers in polymers, dry lubricants in high-temperature bearings, and as a moderator in nuclear reactors.
Safety and Storage
While non-toxic, prolonged inhalation of graphite dust may cause respiratory irritation. NFPA ratings classify the powder as Health: 1, Flammability: 1 (bulk), increasing to Flammability: 3 when finely dispersed as airborne dust. Storage requires inert conditions or sealed containers to prevent oxidation. Bulk quantities should be stored on pallets with at least 1m clearance from walls to facilitate air circulation and reduce dust accumulation hazards.
B2B Procurement Guide
Key specifications to verify include: carbon content (via LECO analysis), particle size distribution (laser diffraction), and trace element profile (ICP-MS). For battery applications, pay particular attention to iron (<300ppm) and cobalt/nickel (<50ppm) content. Leading producing regions include Heilongjiang (China), Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. When comparing suppliers, request batch-specific certificates of analysis rather than generic material specifications. Consider ordering trial quantities to test processing characteristics before large purchases.
