General manufacturing
Graphite and carbon for general manufacturing: ESGRAF advises on material selection and application support across Mexico and the Americas.
[ Industry description ]
Graphite solutions for lubrication, sealing, and general manufacturing processes.
General manufacturing covers cross-cutting lubrication, mold release, sealing, and graphite-component applications that do not belong to a single vertical. It is the entry point when the process is mixed or versatility is required.
ESGRAF recommends the product or component based on surface, temperature, and operating condition.
[ Related graphite applications ]
Machine wear components
Wear components in graphite and carbon-graphite: plates, guides, inserts, and dry-friction parts.
Machine sliding plates
They are used in float glass handling and general casting, allowing stable flow on a non-stick surface.
Hot-pressing dies
Graphite dies, punches and tools for hot pressing and densification at temperature.
EDM electrodes
Essential components in the EDM process. Before manufacturing parts using EDM, the appropriate graphite grade must be selected.
Thread sealing and lubrication
Graphite paste that seals and lubricates threaded joints exposed to high temperature and pressure.
Forge lubrication
Graphite release coating for hot forging that protects the die and eases part release.
Cold-forming lubrication
Graphite coating for cold stamping, deep drawing, and bending with an even lubricating film.
Shaft and axle lubrication
Dry-film graphite lubricant for shafts, axles, and metal wheels under load.
Furnace chain lubrication
Graphite lubrication of furnace chains and mechanisms where oils carbonize at high temperature.
Metal mold release
Graphite coatings to facilitate demolding and reduce adhesion in forming and casting processes.
Conveyor chain lubrication
Facilitates the movement of parts in systems subjected to high temperatures, avoiding jams and wear.
Rotary kiln track lubrication
Direct contact or drip lubrication to minimize friction and wear on rotating rails and tracks.
Extrusion die lubrication
Reduces friction and wear on dies used to mold materials in extrusion processes.
Extrusion piston lubrication
Reduces friction and improves efficiency in pistons subjected to high pressures and temperatures.
Sanding belt lubrication
Protection of the back of sandpaper to reduce friction and wear, minimizing breakage and shifting.
Agricultural machinery lubrication
Protects moving components of agricultural machinery against wear and corrosion.
Grain hopper lubrication
Facilitates the flow of grains in hoppers, avoiding blockages and reducing friction.
Seed lubrication
Facilitates the handling and sowing of seeds, avoiding jams in agricultural machinery.
Tortilla machine lubrication
Facilitates the movement of parts in food machinery, ensuring smooth operation.
Stamping die lubrication
Improves the performance and lifespan of dies in cutting and stamping processes.
Lubricating paints
They provide lubricating properties to painted surfaces for specific applications.
Furnace demolding paint
Graphite paints and coatings for release and anti-stick duty in furnaces and thermal fixtures.
PVD release coatings
Graphite lubricants applied as paint are used in physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes.
