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.

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.
Sintering molds
They allow the compaction and formation of metal parts through sintering processes.
Hot-pressing dies
Graphite dies, punches and tools for hot pressing and densification at temperature.
Extrusion dies
Graphite dies for extrusion, forming and high-temperature metallurgical processes.
Jewelry casting molds
They are used to shape jewelry pieces in casting processes.
EDM electrodes
Essential components in the EDM process. Before manufacturing parts using EDM, the appropriate graphite grade must be selected.
Conductive paint additive
Improves electrical conductivity in special coatings and paints.
Thread sealing and lubrication
Graphite paste that seals and lubricates threaded joints exposed to high temperature and pressure.
