Graphite suspension paints and its main uses

Graphite suspension paints or paint type lubricants is widely used to create a graphite lubricating coating resistant to weathering and elevated operating temperatures. It replaces greases and oils offering clean lubrication without the adhesion of dust, dirt or chips.

Graphite suspension paints is made from micronized graphitethat adheres to various types of substrates once the solvent evaporates after application. When this happens, the graphite sticks to the surface and does not lose the flexibility of normal suspension paints.

This type of conductive suspension paints can be applied on almost any type of surface, but it is mainly done on textile materials or paper. It can even be applied on skin, with a non-toxic type of suspension paints.

Properties of graphite suspension suspension paints

Although the properties and characteristics of graphite suspension paints depend largely on the company that manufactures them and the brand, some can be distinguished that stand out among the great variety:

• It has a good electrical conductivity
• The drying time is a maximum of 15 minutes.
• It is generally non-toxic, depending on the vehicle in suspension.
• Withstands voltages up to 12vdc and has a good laminar resistance.

Characteristics of graphite suspension with suspension paints-like application

Graphite suspension paints allows you to conduct electricity perfectly and literally draw functional circuits on a flexible surface.

In addition, graphite suspension paints has refractory characteristics and is a totally effective product for coating different parts. It is an excellent ally for industry as it has a high level of adhesion and consistently penetrates surfaces.

Graphite suspension paints can be applied on all types of surfaces such as cement, brick, glass, among others. When applied, a fast drying and total coverage is expected.

Some suspension paints with graphite particles allow to reduce the impact of electromagnetic waves regardless of whether they are of a high or low frequency.

Due to the properties of graphite, this material is widely used in the industries automotive, metallurgical, chemical, as dry lubricants, mobile energy, in pencils, gaskets for surface sealing, etc.

Graphite-containing suspension paints is water soluble, environmentally friendly and non-corrosive.

Graphite solutions for industries

At ESGRAF we are allied to optimize the efforts in industries by offering graphite based suspension paints or graphite powder. Request information in this link or check our website to know the best applications of graphite in the industry.

We have a wide assortment of graphite lubricants and suspensions for lubrication of railways, auto transport, tortilla machines, grain silos, hoppers, conveyors or conveyor belts in furnaces, etc.

In addition, we have graphite suspension paintss and suspensions in different vehicles such as resins and other water-based products that do not generate toxic fumes. The drying times of the graphite suspension paints vary according to the vehicle.

Limitations to consider

Performance depends on graphite grade, grain orientation, temperature, load, pressure, speed, and operating environment. Material selection should be confirmed for your actual process conditions.

Information needed for a quote

To guide selection or prepare a quote, ESGRAF typically needs:

• Application and operating conditions (temperature, atmosphere, load).
• Dimensions, technical drawing, or CAD file when applicable.
• Required quantity.
• Requested grade or material currently in use.
• Observed issue with the previous part or lubricant, if any.
