Natural
graphite flake is chemically treated to form Graphite
Intercalation Compound. This intercalation compound is then rapidly
heated to decomposition. The result is a rapid expansion of the
particle size. The bulk density of the worm-like graphite powders
is about 0.003g/cc. Then they are formed into graphite sheets by
rolling.
Principal applications:
·Glands
·Gaskets used in flanges, covers of observation holes, level
meters.
·Direct attach to the metal surfaces for gas phase sealing effectively.
·Especially the expanded graphite rolls can be used as a material
for
automatic producing lines.
